Procrastination often wins because we overthink the task ahead. The 2-minute rule beats it by focusing on just starting. If a task takes under 2 minutes, do it now. If it’s bigger, commit to only 2 minutes of it. That’s often enough to build momentum.
This technique removes the pressure of perfection and replaces it with action. Starting small can lead to finishing big.
Next time you feel stuck, shrink the task down. Begin with 2 minutes. That’s all you need to outsmart procrastination.
