2 Minute Countdown Timer
120 seconds of focused action. Put David Allen’s famous GTD 2-minute productivity rule into practice.
A 2-minute timer is a 120-second countdown clock with an alarm. It is best known for implementing David Allen’s "Two-Minute Rule" from Getting Things Done: if a pending action takes two minutes or less, do it immediately instead of adding it to a to-do list.
Why the 2-Minute Rule Clears Mental Clutter
Tracking, organizing, and reviewing small tasks costs more cognitive energy than just doing them on the spot. Running a 2-minute sprint clears low-hanging fruit immediately.
