\"2-minute_612x612\"<\/a>In case you missed it, Monday was Leap Day!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first Leap Day-related question that comes to mind is: \u201cWhat did you do with your extra day?\u201d Did you check a few more emails or schedule a meeting to start a new project? Maybe you took the day off to spend time with your family or go ice fishing before the ice on the lakes melt.<\/p>\n

In the hectic business world, having more time can be a luxury. To help you get more time out of your day throughout the year (not just on a Leap Year), we found a method that can help you stop procrastinating and jumpstart your projects and goals. This method is called the Two-Minute Rule.<\/p>\n

How the Two-Minute Rule works:<\/h3>\n

If a task takes two minutes or less to accomplish, do it now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This could be any small task, from washing your dishes after a meal to sending that follow-up email when the thought pops into your head. Instead of having the idea floating around in your brain or sitting idly on your to-do list, getting it done allows you to focus your energy on a larger task or goal.<\/p>\n

There is also a way to apply the rule to projects that take longer than two minutes.<\/p>\n

If it takes longer than two minutes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The method suggests breaking down the goal into two-minute-sized chunks. Work on doing more on social media by writing out a schedule of how often you want to post. Want to start reading more? Read for two minutes on your lunch break!<\/p>\n

The best way to make the Two-Minute Rule work is to act on your thoughts. While I\u2019m not really a science person, they say that whatever is in motion will stay in motion. Starting your task when you think of it will help you follow through on completing it.<\/p>\n
