The Two-Minute Rule: Master the Momentum
Ever felt that sinking feeling when a task just stares at you? It’s small, but it lingers. It clogs your day like a pebble in a shoe. You know it won’t take long, but it’s just not urgent enough. So, you push it to tomorrow, again and again.
That’s where the Two-Minute Rule comes in.
Invented by David Allen, author of Getting Things Done, it’s dead simple: If it takes less than two minutes to do, do it now. No overthinking. No debating. You kill the task before it grows into a beast.
It’s about momentum. A 5-second decision can unlock hours of productivity. You hit the gas, not the brakes. The funny thing? It’s not about two minutes. It’s about telling your brain: I’m in control here. It’s about action.
Answering an email. Filing that document. Returning a quick call. You don’t wait. You don’t procrastinate. You just do it.
In two minutes, you can start a chain reaction. You knock down the small stuff, and suddenly, the bigger tasks don’t seem so intimidating. You’re on a roll.
It’s addictive. Once you’ve nailed one thing, you want to keep going. Like scoring the first point in a game, your confidence builds. Before you know it, you’ve wiped out half your to-do list.
The Two-Minute Rule is like a secret hack for momentum. It’s not about doing everything. It’s about starting—one tiny task at a time.

Do it now. Do great things today.
Do it now is a call to action. Do it now turn theories into truths, dreams into realities. Whatever you want to do, do it now.
