The 2-Minute Rule That Defeats Procrastination
Developed by productivity expert David Allen, the 2-Minute Rule works in two ways. First: if a task takes less than 2 minutes, do it immediately instead of adding it to your list. Second: when facing a big intimidating task, commit to working on it for just 2 minutes. Start a timer. Most people continue well beyond 2 minutes because starting is the hardest part. The key insight is that motivation follows action, not the other way around.

Behavioral psychologist BJ Fogg's research at Stanford shows that tiny actions bypass the brain's resistance to change. Starting a task activates the Zeigarnik Effect: your brain becomes psychologically invested in completing unfinished work. The 2-minute commitment is small enough to avoid triggering anxiety but powerful enough to build momentum.
