James Clear Explains Why the 'Two Minute Rule' Is the Key to Long-Term Habit Building

"To make it short, let ABN team summarize the entire book for you: What Is the Two-Minute Rule?

The two-minute rule is when you take the new habit or task you want to accomplish and no matter how big it seems, break it down into a short task that can be done in two minutes or less.

""Take whatever habit you're trying to create and scale it down to something that takes two minutes or less to do,"" Clear explained. ""So 'read 30 books a year' becomes 'read one page' or 'do yoga four days a week' means 'take out my yoga mat.'""

Clear says critics have raised issues with this strategy because they are consciously aware that they are trying to trick their brains, which makes it harder to implement. But Clear says to take a step back and just begin — the hardest step is usually the first one.
