Narrative:

We were told the flight would be 50 minutes when in actuality it was 37 minutes. We all got our service out but had not collected trash; restocked; or closed kits when we heard the final descent chime. We hustled to get as much done as possible but we were unable to collect all the trash. We quickly sat down in our jumpseats and I noticed my galley was not completely secure. I thought I had a few seconds to get over there and back. I didn't want anything to block that exit in case of an emergency on landing. I miscalculated the time and ended up landing on the floor in the galley. After we slowed down and began to turn; I secured myself in the jumpseat. It was just a miscommunication. Maybe prioritize better. Losing 13 minutes on a short flight is a lot of precious time.
