This rule comes from [[David Allen]]'s book [[Getting Things Done]]. The rule states that **if a task can be done in 2 minutes, then just do it right away**. This is because in the GTD system, all tasks are offloaded to a central repository so you can focus on performing the task rather than worry about what needs to be done. Small tasks that take less than 2 minutes should be performed right away as to not clutter up that central repository.
