Beat Procrastination With the Two-Minute Rule

Procrastination isn't laziness. It's your brain choosing instant gratification over

future rewards. Scientists call this time inconsistency, where your Present Self craves that

Netflix binge while your Future Self screams about deadlines. The pain of thinking about work actually

hurts more than doing it. That's why you spiral into guilt-scrolling instead of just

starting. Here's the hack: use the two-minute rule. Tell yourself you'll

work for just two minutes. Once you start, momentum carries you forward.

Pair boring tasks with things you love, like only watching your favorite show

while folding laundry. Design your environment to remove friction. Delete those time-sucking apps.
