374. The 15 Minute Method with Sam Bennett

The Daily Helping

Sam Bennett is a writer, speaker, actor, instructor, and productivity specialist. In her words, she has followed a trail of “sparkling breadcrumbs” to build a fulfilling life for herself. If you wish that could be you, don’t worry it can. Sam explains how in her “The 15 Minute Method” book, and as a guest on our podcast today.

The key for Sam is experimentation. Set aside 15 minutes to just do a little bit of what you want to do. Schedule it in your calendar to make sure you actually do it. See if you like what you’ve chosen to do. See if you don’t. Observe how the act of doing it changed you. Yes, even tasks like cleaning out your garage can follow this method. Break down overwhelming tasks into doable pieces.

This interview with Sam is a delight. Be sure to check out all her books, follow her on her socials, and maybe even keep an eye out for her in reruns of the Drew Carey Show and Modern Family!

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

I have an acute awareness that we are not here for very long. We do not have an unlimited amount of time in which to make our contributions to the world, in which to do the things that we love to do. And we don't know how long it is. So if there is something that is on your heart to do, this is it. Start now. Start today.
