The 2-Minute Rule: How to Stop Procrastinating Instantly

Struggling to get started? Try the 2-minute rule.

What is it?

If a task takes less than two minutes — do it immediately. If it’s a bigger habit, scale it down to a 2-minute version.

Examples:

🧺 Want to clean your room? → Just fold one shirt.

📚 Want to read more? → Open the book and read one sentence.

🏋️ Want to exercise? → Put on your gym shoes.

Why it works:

  • Reduces friction
  • Builds momentum
  • Helps you start without overwhelm

Often, once you begin, you naturally keep going. But even if you don’t — you’ve still done something.

It’s not about results. It’s about identity.

Be someone who takes action.
