The 2-minute rule that actually saves a study session

You don't have a discipline problem. You have a first-2-minutes problem.


Every failed study session dies the same way: you sit down, you "just check" one thing, and 40 minutes later the textbook is still closed.


Your brain isn't broken. The phone is designed to win those first 2 minutes. Willpower is not a strategy against that.


What actually works is boring:


  • Phone in another room before you sit. Not face down. Another room.

  • One task written on paper. Not a list. One.

  • A timer you cannot snooze from the lock screen.


If you only do the first one, your session survival rate jumps. The rest of The Focus Reset is the system around that — but the 2-minute rule is free, and it's the whole game.
