1/ Start with the 2-minute rule ⏱️ If a task takes less than 2 minutes, do it immediately. These small actions might seem insignificant, but they prevent clutter—both in your inbox and in your mind.
Quick examples: reply to a short email, put away a document, update a calendar, or make a brief phone call.
The key: don’t postpone small tasks. Waiting turns them into mental clutter that drains focus and energy.
Bonus: Completing quick wins early in the day gives you a sense of accomplishment and momentum for bigger tasks.
💡 Tip: Pair the 2-minute rule with a daily “micro-task list” for items under 2 minutes—ticking them off feels surprisingly motivating.
