Regardless of which to-do lists or scheduling systems you use, there are things that are very silly to list: the actual planning takes longer than the execution. This is where the three-minute rule comes into play.
The three-minute rule implies that you must complete an action that takes no more than three minutes as soon as you receive such an assignment. For example, you thought that you need to write down an idea. To write it down, you need to go to the table, grab a pen and notebook, write down the idea. The table is in another room, and you are just too lazy to go there. However, the three minute rule states that you must complete this action, as the whole hassle will take less than three minutes. Otherwise, you might miss a good idea.
A great way is to set a timer for three minutes and during that time focus on a short activity without distraction. Thus, you will kill two birds with one stone: and weaned to procrastinate, and become more productive without the burden of small tasks that you have forgotten about every now and then.
Remember that by postponing a three-minute task, you spend more energy on not forgetting about this matter, that is, on the postponement itself. It is much more rational to complete such a task immediately.
In addition, doing such things will immediately save you a lot of time, since the constant postponement of the same thing leads to the growth of this case, which ultimately will result in one big unnecessary thing that needs to be done with a nosebleed. Don't get too carried away and get into the habit of using the three-minute rule.
