If you’d like to get a lot more done today – here's a strategy that really works,

How’s your to-do list today?  If you’d like to keep things moving – invoke the two-minute rule...  

David Allen, author of “Getting Things Done,” says most people push secondary tasks aside or move them down the list to deal with the crisis of the moment.  But those should actually be at the TOP of our list.  David says the little, unimportant things too often demand much more attention later on than they deserve - and become too important because they weren't handled when they would have been easy.  Check your list - ask yourself “Could this be done in less than two minutes?”  If so, do it – and cross that off the list.

The two-minute rule can even apply to some of the bigger to-dos on your list.  Break them down and tackle the steps that CAN be done in two minutes or less.
