Week 5 – MKMMA
I’ve been meaning to share a couple of tips with you, so I’m stopping the procrastination, and “Doing It Now!” Here they are:
Tip #1 – Sit Time Cushion:
I started doing this the week that we needed to sit completely still, and it worked so well for me that I do it every time now!
I noticed it takes me a minute or so to get ‘settled’, and it was eating into my sit time! So I started setting the timer on my phone to 16 or 17 minutes, if I’m doing a 15-minute sit. Then once I’m settled, the timer is already going and I haven’t used part of my sit time to get settled!
Also, I like to make sure the timer is going before I start, so I don’t accidentally take too long, and arrive to work late. With a time cushion, I can glance down at my phone and see that the timer is going… ’cause sometimes I could swear I’ve been sitting for far longer than the time I set the timer for!
Tip #2 – Speed Watching:
I found Jana’s training webinar on reading faster invaluable for saving time–it’s a little awkward at first, but I’m getting faster and comprehending more–with practice!
About a month ago, I ran across a way to save myself time when watching videos. I love that with most YouTube videos you can change the speed it plays back at. However, not all videos have that feature.
A colleague recommended that I go to this site: enounce.com (not an affiliate link!), and check it out. It’s a piece of software you load on your computer that lets you control the speed of videos (up to 3x faster, and can slow them down too, if you like). I did the free trial, loved it, purchased it, and now save myself a ton of time when watching any video. Just like with speed reading, you can train yourself to watch videos faster!
Tip #3 – Emerson’s Compensation Essay
This is a meaty read! I read in the alliances (I believe it was there) a suggestion from another person to watch a YouTube video of a person reading the essay to you. I read it first myself, then listened and watched it being read–it really did help to have a “professional” read it; great cadence and a soothing voice to listen to! Here’s the link if you’re interested in giving this a try: https://youtu.be/lTYWGWRoYNA

Thank you for sharing these tips! Loved the one about the sit time cushion (I peak at the time too!) and the help with Emmerson’s Compensation – looking forward to that one. All the best, Sharon
Awesome tips! Thank you so much. Goodness I was reading the LOC and I was like, ummm, no, can’t do. Well that was late tonight and my brain was just done for the day. So I’m going to do the youtube one first. And building time in the “sit” is just smart. If you are like me I have to do this or do that until I can really sit still. Great job!
I was doing the cushion for the sits too!! And I love your other tips, I’ll definitely check out the Essay video!
Thank you for the valuable tips and links! …and encoragement!!
Fabulous!
Delighted by your little tips! You can check off “service” for this interactions. So happy to be here with you! ✨ 🌺 ✨
Thanks for sharing the links!!
Thank you for the tips! I am going to check out the LOC online. I know they touched on it some in class last week. I am a visual and auditory learner. So hearing a lesson after reading it really helps!
Thanks for sharing your insights and the link for the Law of Compensation.
Great blog I like your enthusiasm and technics about the SITS. Emerson’s you tube video was awesome I enjoyed it and thanks for sharing.
Wow!! Thanks for that Emerson tip, “Meaty” is an understatement.
These are great tips, thank you.
Great ideas, Laura – thanks!
