How often do you notice a task that needs doing and say ‘I’ll do it later’?

How often do you complete a household task and think ‘that took a lot less time than I thought!’

I read about the ‘2 minute rule’ in a magazine when I had a young baby. The idea is that if you notice a task that will take less than 2 minutes to complete you just get on and do it, no procrastinating allowed! You can read about how effective I found it here.

Look around you, are there any two minute tasks you could complete right now? I can see a jigsaw that needs putting away and my coffee cup is empty! I’m getting on with them now – what could you do?

For those of you who’ve been inspired to complete a 2 minute task, either today or in the past, how did it go? How do you feel now that you’ve done it? Add your comments below.
