Crush Small Tasks Fast with the Two-Minute Rule

Many productivity guides blame willpower. In reality, tiny chores pile up and drain your attention. The Two-Minute Rule says: if a task takes two minutes or less, do it immediately. Answer that email, put away dishes, or file a receipt right away to clear your mind. Be careful with tasks that look quick but are only part of a larger project. Ask yourself if it truly takes two minutes to finish or if it needs more planning. Used correctly, this rule filters out trivial items so your to-do list holds only what really matters.

Try grouping similar two-minute tasks into a quick ten-minute session at day's start. You'll clear clutter without derailing your main workflow.
