The Two Minute Rule
I started to see the negative effect a messy house/work space was having on me. I wasn’t able to get my projects done due to a bunch of clutter getting in the way. Over the past year, I have experimented with a few different rules to try and build up some healthy habits. A lot of the ones I’ve tried have helped me with an organization system to make sure I stay focused on what I need to be doing and how I should go about doing it. Some time last year I heard about the two minute rule. I have implemented this rule into my life and it has helped so much.
