What it does
When the task list is overflowing and everything feels overwhelming, paralysis sets in. But if you can complete one small thing in the first two minutes, the brain shifts gears and momentum becomes easier to sustain. This prompt applies the principle of starting minimal: it identifies micro-tasks that take less than 2 minutes and, once completed, create the inertia needed to tackle larger items. Use it when staring at your list without knowing where to begin, when needing an initial push to start the day, or when procrastination has brought everything to a standstill.
