Two minute rule

If you can do it in two minutes or less, do it now.

Recycle it.
Hang it up.
Put it away.
​Reply to the email.
Toss it in the trash.
Make the phone call.
Load it into the dishwasher.
Give someone the benefit of the doubt.

It’s in your hand, deal with it now.
Take care of it now and you won’t have to handle it later.
(Later you’ll be in the midst of other things needing your time and attention)
Trust me.
You can take care of many small tasks in under two minutes.  
I promise.

If you can do it in two minutes or less, do it now.
