I am not typically a procrastinator. I actually enjoy hitting deadlines and staying on top of work but when the day is over and I see piles of laundry, kids needing dinner and a list of chores, that’s where I start to unravel and procrastinate.
My lack of motivation usually shows with something small like leaving the clothes in the hamper rather than putting them away. But these otherwise easy tasks add up to be large time-consuming projects when left for too long.
I finally decided to see if AI could help get me back on track. This week, after work, whenever it felt like housework and errands were sucking my energy, I did something different. I asked ChatGPT to help me apply David Allen's 2-minute rule to my life. The idea is a simple one: If it takes less than two minutes, do it now.
