Apply the two-minute completion rule only during dedicated processing sessions, not during execution time, because interrupting deep work for quick tasks imposes context-switching costs that dwarf the task duration.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Consciousness Requires Global Neural Integration (conscious awareness requires global workspace activation), Conscious Processing Is Metabolically Expensive (deliberation is metabolically expensive), and Task-switching generates attention residue that persists… (task-switching generates attention residue lasting ~23 minutes). The lesson warns against using the two-minute rule as reactivity license—it only applies during processing mode.
