How should I use this 2 minutes timer?

Choose 2 minutes when you want to finish, not just start. It is long enough to complete a tiny task and short enough to remove negotiation. This page connects the timer to a real productivity method instead of treating 2 minutes as just another arbitrary countdown.

Should I choose 2 minutes or 1 minute?

Compared with 1 minute, 2 minutes is better when completion matters. Compared with 5 minutes, it is better when you need hard boundaries to avoid over-expanding a tiny task.

Can I use this 2 minutes timer on mobile?

Yes. The timer works on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers with no app install required.

What is the 2-minute rule?

The 2-minute rule says that if a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately. A 2 minute timer helps you apply that rule with a clear stop point.
