Ten Minutes #savmp

There's real power in ten minutes!

You may think ten minutes is overrated? You can't get much done? You'll take a few minutes to breath and hang out in your office.

I say you're wrong. Ten minutes is an enormous amount of time. You can get a ton done in five minutes. When I was at Officer School in Quantico, Virginia we'd have 90 seconds to complete most tasks. If they gave us three minutes to do something it felt like an eternity.

I bring up the idea of ten minutes because each minute a Principal is in their office, finishing paperwork, not being seen by kids, not interacting with teachers, not connecting with the curriculum, it's missed opportunities to connect with kids.

Simple challenge -

You can do it, make it happen, go be awesome for kids!
