The premise is that procrastinating, delaying, and generally reviewing, re-creating and repeating to-do-lists laden with small tasks takes up a significant amount of an individual’s available time. Applying the “2 minute rule” to these small, but numerous tasks enables one to devote more time to the larger tasks such as report writing. Once you have confidence in your ability to manage you workload, you’ll be able to plan accurately and devote your energies to the more cerebral commitments you have, rather than worrying whether you captured the action your boss mumbled in the lift on Tuesday morning.
