What is it with the youth not valuing time anymore? I mean, come on..there are twenty-four hours in a day and sixteen waking hours..so why do we procrastinate so much? Why do we tend to waste away our precious time doing something nonproductive or simply doing nothing at all?

1) Make a packet of Maggi noodles and win over your hunger..although make sure to not burn your noodles while doing it.
2) Write a journal entry..maintaining a journal is very therapeutic and it requires only 2 minutes of your daily time..devoting 2 minutes of your day to write your journal entry can be pretty productive. it can improve your writing skills..also, it can reflect your progress as a person in general.
3) Tidy up your bed..although cleaning up your bed may seem like a deadly task, but once you’re at it, it would hardly take 2 minutes to clean it and get on fresh, new bedsheets.
4) Pay a compliment to people..it takes only two minutes for you to truly compliment a person..but those two minutes that you invest in, it can make the receiving person’s day..usually, compliments make people confident..so, why not turn a person’s day around and make them confident by a simple line of encouragement?

9) Get off the phone and listen to your parents and grandparents for two minutes..maybe there might be something important that they are trying to tell. Try to listen to them with patience..sometimes, they might be confused..but weren’t they there when you were a toddler and couldn’t do anything..so listen to them and help them accordingly.
10) Take out the trash and dispose of it…it is a two-minute task..and it is not necessary that only a single person is assigned to do that at home..anyone and everyone can do it..it is not rocket science.
11) Throw away the empty cans/tins/cartons: If you are the one to have the last bite or sip of something in the fridge, then you should definitely throw away the tin or the can or the carton in the bin..why is it always the duty of moms to put it out?
12) Text your loved ones: It takes just 2 minutes to connect to you or loved ones via text..your single text can make that person happy..it can show that you care.
