Slowing Down
Slowing Down
Is the speed of your life set on fast? Is everything you do at this pace? Do you work fast, eat fast, talk fast, walk fast? Are you looking for a way to sleep fast?
Is life “zooming by” for you? Do you want it to?
Speed, combined with the tendency to multitask, will rob you of precious time and memories. It can affect your health and quality of life.
Here are five things you can do to regain control.
- Plan more and do less. Get the important things done, then everything else is cake.
- Don’t multitask. Doing one thing at a time, at 100% will actually make you more efficient.
- Savor the moment. Enjoy whatever it is that you are doing when you are doing it.
- Take over the controls. Don’t let others affect your desire to slow down.
- Don’t focus all your attention on the future. Live in the present.
The Time Timer
Give the Gift of (Visual) Time
Whether your children are learning at home in the classroom or both, the time timer products can help ensure they have the tools to succeed. Discover how you can reduce resistance to routines and increase time management skills.
Unlike traditional timers that fail to make the abstract concept of time concrete, the award-winning Time Timer’s visual depiction of “time remaining” provides stress-free time management at work, school, and home to make every moment count.
Special needs individuals: There’s a world of difference between looking at a clock and being able to say that it’s 3 o’clock and understanding “how long” 5 minutes is. For those who learn differently, this type of abstract thinking is even more difficult and often creates a high level of anxiety.
Education: Teachers around the world have discovered the power of the award-winning Time Timer to transform stressful transition periods, reduce resistance to routines and increase their ability to manage their classrooms.
Home: You know what a difference the Time Timer makes in the classroom, but what about at home? Discover the power of the award-winning Time Timer to transform never-ending meals, stressful transition periods, and resistance to routines.
