I thought it would be good to talk specifically about the spaghetti squash today to cater to those who are looking specifically for an easy, healthy noodle/pasta replacement, and also so I can show you how the spaghetti squash looks when it’s done.. To prepare your squash for slow-cooking, first wash it well, dry it, then cut it in half or in quarters depending on the size of the squash and your crock pot..

When your timer goes off at 5 minutes, you may just find that you’re almost-but-not-quite done a job.That extra minute gives you a chance to complete the job without having to consider yourself having “failed” at getting it done in time.

The extra boost from that feeling of crushing a task in your goal time will give you a great feeling of accomplishment and a boost of motivation for starting on your next task the next day!.There will be other times where you accomplish your task in much much less time than 5 minutes.You may think it’s crazy for me to say that you’ll be able to tackle your most dreaded tasks in that little time, but it happens to me constantly!

Just a few minutes ago, I set a timer for 5 minutes and set out to clean out a really messy drawer that had been bugging me for weeks.Less than two minutes later, I was done and I was able to look around and see what else I could do for the remaining 3 minutes of my 5 minute timer.

Then I had one more minute to do even more!
