The 2 Minute Rule for Serial Procrastinators

[JWM]

This is a short one, but a good one, for me at least and maybe for you.

If something takes less than 2 minutes, do it immediately.
If it takes longer than 2 minutes, schedule it.

I am a bad procrastinator and I'm sure a lot of you are in the same boat.

Just heard about a reference to the 2 minute rule which is a concept by the author David Allen.

Might seem obvious and straightforward, but it's a nice simple rule that I think will have some impact.
I think that it's not just about this rule, but where you take it to as you develop, being able to hit tasks on the head and get them done, regardless of size.
