The Two-Minute Rule: Act Immediately
If a task requires under two minutes to complete, do it right away. Do not add it to a list or postpone. Examples include: sending a brief email reply, putting away a single item, or making a quick phone call. This micro-action prevents tasks from piling up.

This simple rule shatters procrastination by removing the friction from minor tasks. It stops small items from becoming mental clutter, liberating valuable cognitive space for significant work. Acting instantly cultivates momentum and a habit of efficiency, resulting in a consistently clearer mind and environment.
