Things that take less than 2 minutes

Going through my email inbox in the Getting Things Done way, with a 2 minute timer. Some things you can get done in two minutes, others you can’t. Some things I thought I could do in two minutes but I was wrong.
Here’s me today:
Takes less than 2 minutes
- starting this blog post
- renewing a library book via the Fletcher Free Library online renewal thingie
- quick scan of web article, turn it into a Twitter post scheduled for the future via bit.ly and cotweet.
- sending a worthwhile web resource to my Evernote notebook.
- Sifting an email that’s been put off and put off and put off into the right folder (it was reference and I kept thinking there was something that needed to be done with it).
- Sending a quick note catch up with a friend for coffee.
- Sending a quick note on a rate change to a client.
- Checking in on a proposal that has been sent.
- Leaving a comment on a great blog post.
Takes more than 2 minutes
- logging in to Facebook to approve a friend request (get distracted)
- read a web article to see if it’s worth sharing with others.
- reviewing Howcast video and scheduling a future twitter post.
- sending a client intake request for information.
- Reading a great blog post.
