Thanks, Rosa - I was having a hectic morning, then I read your blog at lunch. I think I'll have a much calmer afternoon by doing these things. Just what I needed!

Aloha Jay, mahalo nui for adding your thoughts - I love your suggestions!
Aloha Dwayne, so glad I could help in some small way! Thank you for stopping by and adding your comment for me; I do appreciate it.
I've been having fun with this so far, and I keep adding:
0: Decided today is not for any maintenance type work, just those tasks that will add value.
5: So far I added the link to this post to 5 of my emails as a postscript. The responses have been so great I'm going for a second 5 after lunch.
0: And speaking of lunch, no junk food today!
5: I had planned to send 2 Mother's Day cards today (my mom and my mother-in-law) but then I decided to do 3 more for women I know are brand new mothers this year.
0: Promised myself I would not whine today at all. If I have a lot to do I'm lucky I have the ability to get it done.
5: I'm Taking 5 (my Daily 5 Minutes) 5 times today! Altogether that's only 25 minutes...

0 - times I put off calling my wife during the day
5 - times I wrote a note and mailed to employees' home saying thank you
0 - bills paid
5 - client phone calls made that weren't on my "to call" list
0 - time I wish I would of spent on email
5 - minutes more to read the "one more book daddy" at bedtime with my son last night
Rosa, thank you. You give back to me at least 5X all the time.

What a bad time to be behind in my blog reading. This was highly creative (defined as , "I wish I had thought of it!") As another comment said, I can't wait until June 6 next year. I'll be ready.
Maybe we should have the whole community have a take on this topic on that day! :)
Thanks Rosa for a stimulating idea.
