𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗛𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁? 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮-𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲.

One of the most powerful yet simple ideas I’ve come across in 𝗔𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 by James Clear is the 𝟮-𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲.

The rule states: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁, 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼.

This strategy helps break resistance and makes it easier to build consistency—even with habits that feel hard to begin.

👉 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲:

Instead of saying 𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟯𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆, start with:

𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲.

Once you begin, momentum takes over. You often end up doing more than just one page.

💡 Why it works:

• It removes the mental block that stops us from starting.

• It creates a sense of achievement.

• It reinforces identity:𝗜’𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆.

I’ve personally started using this trick for learning and even workouts. Just showing up for 2 minutes leads to full sessions more often than not.
