The 2-minute rule uses Newton's first law to beat procrastination: start with one tiny action, like finding your camera or turning on lights, to overcome mental resistance. Once you begin, momentum makes continuing easier.
This 2-minute productivity hack can save you years and years of getting stuck. And you know what's crazy? The reason of this is physics. I know you may be thinking, what is this? But if you remember Newton's law of physics, the very first law, the moment of inertia, things which are at rest would like to be in rest, things which are in motion would continue to be in motion. So most of us, when we start doing big things, we think about that we have to actually do a lot of things. But here is this productivity tool that can help you. This is called the 2-minute rule, where instead of focusing on the big mammoth task, focus on what you can do in 2 minutes. For example, you need to record a long-form YouTube video. Don't worry about the whole video, but think about, can you find the camera? Can you set up the camera? Can you switch on the light? When you start doing that thing, your brain also, proven by studies, feels to get into motion. And that's why you would have always felt getting started is the most difficult task. So if you can make it easy for you to get started, it will become much, much easier for you to keep going and going and going. Follow these tips and let me know if this helps you.
