⏱️ The Two-Minute Rule

The Tiny Rule That Declutters Your Brain

Here's the deal: if something takes less than two minutes, just... do it. Right now. Don't add it to a list. Don't 'get to it later.' Later is a liar. 😅

This one comes from productivity guru David Allen, the mastermind behind Getting Things Done. His research (and honestly, your own gut) found that tiny undone tasks — reply to that text, put away the mug, sign the form — don't just sit quietly in the background. They pile up into a low hum of mental clutter that follows you around all day.

📋 Why Your Brain Is Secretly Keeping Score

✅ How to Actually Use It

1. Catch yourself stalling. The second you think 'I should really do that,' ask: would this take under two minutes?
2. If yes — do it immediately. No list, no reminder app, no 'I'll batch it later.'
3. If no — that's when it earns a spot on your to-do list. The two-minute rule isn't for big projects. It's a filter for the small stuff trying to sneak onto your list.
