Master Tiny Habits: The 2-Minute Rule

The biggest hurdle to starting a task is often the act of beginning itself. By reducing the commitment to a mere two minutes, you lower the psychological barrier to entry. This micro-commitment bypasses procrastination, builds momentum, and fosters consistency. Over time, these tiny actions lead to significant progress and solidify beneficial habits without overwhelming effort.
