Drink A Glass Of Water
It is important to stay hydrated through the day, but this is often something that we forget about. Especially when the water isn’t that warm. So, next time you have a spare five minutes, head to the kitchen and drink a cool glass of water. It will certainly invigorate body and mind!
Send A Thank You Note
Has someone helped you out at work or with a professional task recently? If so, it’s always a nice gesture to send them a quick thank you note. Just a couple of lines in an email will do. It’s also nice to send out thank you notes to those who have given you birthday gifts and other special presents.
Smarten Up Your Blog
If you have access to a computer in your spare five minutes, you can always use it to smarten up your blog. Why not take a look for some royalty free images or publish a post that has been sitting in your drafts for a while. It’s important to continually update and refresh your blog so that it keeps your readers interested.
Delete Unused Apps
It is ever so easy to build up a collection of apps on your smartphone. But how many of them do you actually use? By going through and deleting the ones that you don’t open, you will be saving a lot of memory on your phone.
