			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a little productivity trick I came across recently.  I found it to be extremely effective:<a href="http://task.fm/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/3297205226_a12b175d49.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-487" title="3297205226_a12b175d49" src="http://task.fm/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/3297205226_a12b175d49-300x225.jpg" alt="3297205226_a12b175d49" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><em>If you come across a task that will take less than 2 minutes to complete, tackle it right away instead of putting it off for later.</em></p>
<p>These little &#8220;2 minute&#8221; tasks can really add up over the course of the day.  If we are constantly putting them off, we end up being less productive, procrastinating and wasting time.</p>
<p>Completing &#8220;2 minute&#8221; tasks immediately will result in:</p>
<ul>
<li>Less To Remember</li>
<li>More Time &#8211; why waste 2 minutes writing a task down to be completed later, when you can do it now</li>
<li>Less Stress &#8211; more time + less to remember = less stress</li>
<li>Sense of Achievement &#8211; Every time you complete a task, you get that nice feeling of satisfaction and achievement.  This will result in being more motivated.</li>
</ul>
<p>So as you can see, something as simple as taking the &#8220;now&#8221; approach, can result in an improved mindset and daily outlook.  I challenge you give the 2 minute trick a go.  Let me know you results.</p>
