Beat Procrastination with the Two-Minute Rule

Your brain literally values scrolling TikTok more than studying for tomorrow's exam.

This is called time inconsistency. Your present self craves instant rewards while your future

self wants long-term success. The guilt of procrastinating is actually more painful than doing

the work. Here's how to beat it: use the two-minute rule. Tell yourself you'll

only study for two minutes. Once you start, momentum takes over. Break that essay

into tiny chunks. Write one paragraph, not the whole paper. The problem isn't doing the work,

it's starting it. Make starting so easy you can't say no.
