The Two Minute Rule

I was reminded whilst going for a walk and listening to David Allen, that I really need to apply the 2 minute rule more rigorously. Having a reliable organisation system means that i can safely note something, and then come back to it – once I have got what I am doing completed if necessary. Its the flip-flopping from task to taks that breaks my concentration.

I should probably block of a day (or half day) a week to work from home on “thinking” type stuff.

The principle of the 2 minute rule – that if a task will only take 2 minutes, then if you are going to do it, do it now as otherwise it takes up more time in tracking and managing it than doing it is – is effective. Like everything relating to GTD, I just need practice – I can already when I apply it see the benefits.
