How to Beat Procrastination: The (10+2)*5 Rule

May 2024 · 1 minute read

Most people set goals and New Year's resolutions COMPLETELY wrong.

I’ve spent YEARS optimizing my goal-setting process. I know what works and what doesn’t.

Over an hour, you‘ll put in 50 minutes of work.

But because you only need to commit to 10 minutes at a time (and you know you‘re guaranteed a break soon), it can make larger commitments feel less daunting.

💡 You need a timer that is easy to reset and a reduced subset of your to-do list with tasks that can be worked on (not necessarily completed) in blocks of 10 minutes or less.

How it works:

#1 10 Minutes of Work

Work for ten minutes with a single-minded focus on moving toward the completion of a single task.

#2 2 Minute Break

After ten minutes you get a 2-minute break to do whatever you want.

When the two minutes are up, it’s back to work on the next task on your list.

#3 Rinse and Repeat

Repeat #1 and #2 four more times for a total of one hour’s working/breaking.
