Master Your Inbox: The One-Touch Rule
Apply the 'One-Touch Rule' to emails and digital tasks. When you open an email or encounter a task, immediately act on it: complete it if it takes under 2 minutes, delegate it, file it, or schedule a specific time for it. Avoid re-opening or procrastinating.

This rule eliminates decision fatigue and prevents digital clutter from accumulating. By processing items immediately, you reduce mental overhead, ensure nothing falls through the cracks, and free up cognitive space for higher-value work, boosting overall efficiency.
