We all have two minutes.
When we think about what our next step, we often think “big.”
How are we going to get this project off the ground? How will my parents think about this next step? How do I get this in front of Ben Horowitz?
That leaves us paralyzed and overwhelmed.
A way to combat that paralysis is to use the two-minute rule.
The rule? Do the “next step” in whatever your task is for the next two minutes.
How does it work in practice?
Yesterday, I made my blog post in two minutes.
It isn’t perfect, won’t win any awards, or get the President’s attention.
It does, however, give us something to build on. It stands as an example of this idea, one that we can use to illustrate the point.
We all can find two minutes of dedicated practice in the day.
