Two Minute Rule
I’m sure you’ve heard of this before, but this is a good reminder for myself that if I think/know I can do a task in under 2 minutes, might as well do it right away.
I tend to procrastinate for a lot of small little tasks like texting someone, calling someone, paying for X, or anything that I need to think about or that I think will disturb me (because yes I’m easily disturbable).
But in reality, it just hinders me in the long run. I know that somewhere in my head, space is taken because I know that I should be doing a certain task and just postponing it until I just can’t anymore.
I know my first reflex is just to push it, but for some reason today I told my mom “Ok let me call my Aunt”, I called her immediately and it solved my problem right away instead of delaying it and man it feels good.
So when you have a task to do and you know it will take < 2 min, then just do it.
Which reminds me…. I need to reply to an email right after I’m done with this.
