About the 2 minute timer
Two minutes is the home of the famous two-minute rule: if a task takes less than 120 seconds, do it now instead of putting it on a list. It is also the dentist-recommended toothbrushing length.
What you can do in 2 minutes
- The two-minute rule: start the task you keep avoiding for just 120 seconds
- Brushing your teeth for the full dentist-recommended duration
- A short breathing reset between back-to-back meetings
- Letting a boiled egg rest in cold water before peeling
