1) Sand timers originated in Italy during the 14th century. They are beautiful, soothing, and fluid.
    2) Keep this 15-minute glass timer on your desk or somewhere where you'll see it during the day.
    3) Make it a point to periodically take a break from what you are doing to relax, clear your mind, read a chapter of a           good book, have a cup of tea, and breathe.
    4) You won't believe the difference it makes in your day to take 15 minutes here and there and keep those minutes all           for yourself. Try it!
