Use the twominute rule to start new habits from "summary" of Atomic Habits (Hindi) by James Clear
The two-minute rule is a powerful strategy for building new habits. The idea is to make your habits as easy as possible to start. The first two minutes should be so simple that you can't say no to doing them. This is important because the hardest part of any task is getting started. Once you start doing something, it's much easier to continue. For example, if you want to start exercising regularly, you can use the two-minute rule by committing to just putting on your workout clothes and doing one pushup. This may sound silly, but the point is to make it so easy that you can't come up with any excuses not to do it. Once you've done the first two minutes, you'll often find that you want to continue and do more. The key to using the two-minute rule effectively is to focus on mastering the art of showing up. It's not about the results you achieve in those first two minutes, but about establishing a pattern of behavior. If you can consistently show up and do the first two minutes of a habit, you'll start to build momentum and make it easier to continue. The two-minute rule is all about breaking down tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks. By starting with just two minutes, you can overcome the initial resistance and inertia that often hold us back from taking action. Once you get started, you'll often find that the task is not as difficult or daunting as you thought it would be. So, if you're struggling to build a new habit, try using the two-minute rule. Make it as easy as possible to get started, and focus on mastering the art of showing up. Over time, you'll find that these small, consistent efforts can lead to significant changes in your behavior and help you build the habits you desire.
