1. 10 Minutes of Creating

Creating something from scratch is a satisfying and often therapeutic activity. You don’t necessarily have to be an ‘artsy’ type to be creative. A ‘creative work’ could be anything from writing code to cultivating a new recipe to filling in a crossword puzzle - anything you enjoy that gets your creative juices flowing.

Sustainability is an integral part of everything we do; reducing waste is one of the main environmental focus areas in our manufacturing facilities. On an individual level, when creating and crafting projects, it’s important to be mindful of the materials you use. You can repurpose non-recyclable materials into new items and crafts, such as a new pen pot or custom vase, instead of throwing them away. This not only decreases your household waste and products sent to landfills, but it also helps you create a unique object that only you own.

2. 10 Minutes of Movement

Leading such busy lives can make it difficult to find the time for exercise and movement in your daily life. If you aim to complete just 10 minutes of ‘movement’ (however intense you like) every day, it may be more manageable and achievable. Movement benefits our bodies in six key areas: muscles, bones, joints, brain, heart, and lungs. The key is to avoid inactivity and try to consistently move your body at least once per day.

For fitness fanatics, your fitness gadgets are necessary accessories for your exercise routines. Power up on the go with specialty batteries for your sports smartwatch and never run out of juice mid-run again.

3. 10 Minutes of Knowledge

Use 10 minutes of your day, every day, to learn something new. Whether you read, listen to a podcast, or watch an informative video, incorporating 10 minutes of gaining knowledge into your day is a valuable, mentally stimulating activity.
