Hey there,

 

The hardest part of getting things done is often just starting. The 2-Minute Rule can help you overcome that barrier.

 

The idea is simple: if a task will take less than two minutes, do it immediately. Whether it’s sending a quick email, tidying up your workspace, or making that phone call you’ve been avoiding, these small actions are easy to knock off your list before they pile up. They take just a moment but prevent little tasks from piling up and overwhelming you later.

 

Kickstart Bigger Tasks
 

The 2-Minute Rule can also be used for bigger tasks. Commit to just two minutes of a larger task—like opening that report you need to write or organizing a project. Once you’ve started, it often feels easier to keep going. Think of it as tricking your brain into action by reducing the mental resistance to starting. The hardest part is getting over that initial inertia, and two minutes is usually all it takes to get the ball rolling.

 

Your 2-Minute Challenge
 

Pick one thing you’ve been putting off and spend just two minutes on it right now. It doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to begin. That small step can build momentum, and before you know it, you’re in the flow.
