The Two-Minute Rule

If something takes less than two minutes to do, do it immediately.

• Definition: For any task that can be completed quickly, it’s more efficient to handle it right away rather than delay.
• Examples:
  1. A business owner responds to customer inquiries as soon as they come in rather than letting them pile up, which enhances customer satisfaction.
  2. A small business accountant files receipts and updates financial records on a daily basis instead of letting them accumulate into a time-consuming task.
  3. A shop manager restocks small items and cleans up the workspace immediately after use to maintain efficiency and organization throughout the day.
