The Power of Ten Compiled by Amy White Associate Editor WorldWide Drilling Resource ® Ever feel like there’s not enough time in the day to accomplish everything you need to? It’s a common stressor as we try desperately to mark all those items off our never-ending to-do lists. Although we would like to, most of the time, we simply cannot do it all in one day. All those pesky chores competing for your attention can be overwhelming. Sometimes not knowing where to begin can keep you from getting started at all; but it doesn’t have to! While you may not have several extra hours lying around in your day, chances are, you have a few small chunks of time you could put to better use.

Think about it. It might not seem like much, but ten minutes given to your child on a consistent basis will make a big difference to them. Rather than getting frustrated because you haven’t done a major life overhaul yet, try to rec- ognize potential in the small amounts of time you have every day. You may be surprised what becomes of ten minutes and what becomes of you. 10 Minutes Later...  Declutter your desk.  Call and make an appointment.  Make your bed.  Read to your child.  Vacuum your living room.  Fold a load of laundry.  Call someone.
