The 2-Minute Rule: Start Now
If a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately. For larger tasks, commit to working on them for just two minutes to overcome inertia. This small commitment often leads to completing more or even the entire task.

This strategy leverages momentum and reduces decision fatigue. By tackling small items instantly, you clear mental clutter and prevent minor tasks from snowballing into overwhelming lists. For bigger projects, the initial two-minute push overcomes resistance, making the full task seem less daunting and boosting productivity.
