Unleashing the power of two minutes
- Do you ever feel like there's just not enough time in the day to get everything done? The solution to your productivity struggles might just lie in a simple rule of two minutes. According to productivity consultant David Allen, if a task takes less than two minutes, do it now. Clear that email inbox, set up that calendar invite, update your LinkedIn, run that report. Don't waste valuable brain space on quick, easy tasks. Instead, use that mental energy for more complex problems. And it doesn't stop there. The concept of two minute tasks can be applied to building positive habits as well. James Clear, author of "Atomic Habits," suggests that most habits can be scaled down into a two minute version. For example, reading before bed every night becomes read one page before bed each night, doing 20 minutes of yoga becomes take out my yoga mat and put on my yoga pants, and running five miles becomes tie my running shoes. Embrace the two minute rule and watch as you effortlessly increase your productivity and establish new positive habits.
