Fifteen Minutes At A Time...

Do you ever have a mess that just seem like it's absolutely insurmountable?  I love this technique:  Set an alarm for 15 minutes and work as hard as you can.  When the timer goes off, take a break.  Repeat every hour or two until the job is done.  This works great and you'd be surprised at what you can accomplish in those 15 minutes.  Besides, every time you come back, it looks easier than it did before;)
