Script

At IBM’s New York office in 2001, a backlog of unread support tickets started eating into full hours. The pile didn’t shrink until IT teams tried David Allen’s two-minute rule: each time a new task came in, if it would take less than two minutes, do it immediately-don’t schedule or batch, just finish. Allen’s research found teams like IBM’s cleared up to 40 percent more daily items without longer hours. That single rule turned lost hours into visible progress in one week, and the next ticket didn’t even have a chance to stack up.
