Busy people know how to get things done in small increments of time. Think of your biggest, most exciting goal. Then, start chipping away at it, a few minutes at a time.

Try this meditation for one minute every day, or longer if you want to:

I MAY NOT HAVE a lot of time, but I can use what I have, even a few minutes, to achieve my goals.
