The beauty of just-a-minute is that anyone, anywhere, is free to do it, without having to find more time.
Brushing your teeth, waiting for the kettle to boil, stuck in traffic, on the train or bus, waiting for the computer to start, ‘on hold’ on the telephone… Taking just-a-minute to transform these moments from ‘wasted time’ into ‘time for me’ brings enjoyment to the simplest tasks.
