Small tasks have a way of piling up until they feel overwhelming. The two-minute rule is simple: if something takes less than two minutes, do it immediately instead of adding it to a list. Reply to that message, put the dish away, file the document.
This one habit quietly clears mental clutter and keeps your day from drowning in tiny unfinished things.
The point
Handle tiny tasks immediately — two-minute actions done now prevent a mountain of mental clutter later.

Game changer for email. If I can reply in under 2 minutes, I do it immediately. My inbox went from 200 unread to zero in a week. The mental relief is massive.
