The 15 Minute Rule
The 15-minute rule is a method to stop procrastination and take control of your life. It involves setting a timer for 15 minutes and focusing on a task for that duration. This rule can be applied to any task, from sorting out finances to having difficult conversations. The rule is to stop when the alarm goes off, even if you want to continue. This teaches you to trust yourself and makes the task manageable. The rule can be used three times over a three-day period. After the third time, you can continue as long as you want, but stop when you get bored, tired, or fed up.
