You’ve likely felt it in an interview before. Two minutes in and you know how it’s going to go; whether it’s a fit or not.
Two minutes is all it takes for our mental thermometer to go off and either force us to back pedal out of a situation or to lean further in.
The scary part is that two minutes in means it’s time to take action one way or another, so it’s better to procrastinate; to not even let the mental thermometer start.
And there’s your challenge.
The thing you’ve been putting off. Go do it for two minutes. It hurts far less to backpedal out of it quickly than it does to be upset with yourself for not starting it day after day.
The best part is more often than not you either complete the task because you realize how easy it actually is or you get excited by the progress and easily dive back in the next day to continue.
Two minutes. That’s all that you need to ask of yourself.
For working out. For asking someone on a date. For doing meaningful work. For leaping. For trying something new. For learning a language or quickbooks or how to brew. For moving forward instead of standing still.
Two minutes.
Stay Positive & Time. Starts. Now.
