Embrace the "Two-Minute Rule": If a task arises that will take less than two minutes to complete, do it immediately. This prevents small, lingering tasks from cluttering your mental workspace and creating a sense of unfinished business. It's incredibly satisfying to quickly clear these off your plate, freeing up your focus for more complex challenges.

"The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities." - Stephen Covey
