If a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately rather than tracking, scheduling, and revisiting it.
Adopted by: Fortune 500 executive teams, Google, McKinsey, law firms — anywhere GTD methodology is deployed Impact: Allen: the overhead cost of capturing, tracking, re-reading, re-deciding, and re-opening a small task reliably exceeds the time to execute it; eliminating re-decision friction is a core GTD efficiency gain
Why best: Small undone tasks accumulate as open loops in working memory, creating a persistent cognitive drag that consumes attention even when you're not actively thinking about them. The two-minute rule closes those loops before they open, keeping the task management system lean and the mind clear.
Apply: Reply to a factual question that needs one sentence; file a document in the right folder; approve a straightforward request; fix a one-line typo in a config file.
Do not apply: Write a meeting agenda (10 min); review a PR (30 min); reply to a complex email requiring research.
Processing session flow: Open inbox → read item → estimate time → act/schedule/delegate/delete → next item. No re-reads.
