5 Things You Can Do in 5 Minutes While You’re Pooping

Productivity is my jam. More specifically, infusing productivity in unusual places. My number one productive spot outside of the standard office space is the place where I do number 2. That is affectionately known as my second office - aka the bathroom.

I thought it would be fun to expand a bit on what productivity looks like depending on how long your typical bathroom visits are. In my very first blog post, I touched on 4 different lengths of pooping time and what can be done during those times. So, let’s jump in and talk a little bit more about each of those timeframes, shall we?

Where are my 5 minute poopers at?

Let me first start with, I don’t know how you are able to complete this task so quickly!

Here are 5 things you can do within a 5 minute timeframe when you’re a captive audience:

  1. Learn a language! Hop onto whichever is your preferred language learning app and do a lesson. I use Duolingo and you can even do 2 lessons in 5 minutes sometimes.

  2. Social media - respond to those comments and DM’s. What’s that cousin of yours in Scotland up to? If you’re a business owner, you can knock out your daily social media engagement - seriously. Be efficient with your time!

  3. Make that grocery list - there is no better time than sitting on the toilet to make lists. A grocery list is just one of them. Bonus - you can make a list one time and then actually do the shopping the next! Looking at you Target app.

  4. Rest - close your eyes and take that 5 minutes to yourself and simply be still. I know you’re thinking, wait, that isn’t being productive. Stop! It’s totally being productive because you are taking care of yourself - two things at once literally.

  5. Play your favorite game app. I prefer Wordscape. I LOVE word games and this one is perfect for me.

I believe we have more pockets of time in our day than we realize or utilize.

Get creative!
