Ever notice how your stress isn’t usually from the big projects, but from the dozens of unfinished little things? In this episode, we'll zoom in on the 2-minute rule which is a simple, practical way to clear mental clutter, regain momentum, and carve out time for deep work. If a task takes less than two minutes, do it now. This small act pays dividends by closing open loops, preventing future rework, and building a bias toward action.

We'll unpack why this works so well. Hint: the brain keeps scanning for incomplete tasks, draining focus in the background. By completing quick items like replying to a simple email, confirming a meeting, paying a bill, or attaching a document, you free attention and reduce friction. We also address the trap of overuse; the rule is for micro-tasks, not an excuse to avoid meaningful projects. You’ll hear how to protect deep work while still harvesting quick wins, and how to capture small tasks that appear mid-focus without breaking your flow.

If this episode helps you breathe easier and work smarter, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s stuck in micro-task limbo, and leave a quick review to help others find practical tools like this. What’s your first two-minute win today?
