# The 60 Second Procrastination Rule - When you think about a goal or action (studying, working out, cleaning your room), **count down from five seconds**. - For the next 55 seconds, **get ready for your task** (gather your study materials, change your clothes, get your vacuum cleaner). Just get ready. - Then, **do the task for just two minutes.** - **==If you got this far, you are 80% likely to go all the way through.==** - Remember: it is not your concentration that is getting in the way, it is the habit of avoiding. --- ## 📚 References - [The Unfair Advantage Of The 60 Second Procrastination Rule](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvjJEQBGbJQ)
