How to clear small stuff instantly instead of managing it.
David Allen’s two-minute rule from “Getting Things Done”: if a task takes under two minutes, do it immediately. Writing it on a list, finding it again and scheduling it costs more than simply doing it. Anything bigger goes into a system. That keeps your head free of dozens of tiny open loops.
Useful: Short reply, filing an invoice, adding an appointment: now, not later.
