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:
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.
