From GTD methodology if I could remember only one simple thing it was "if ypu can do xyz in less than 5 mins do it now".

You’d be amazed how many things you can do in even ONE minute.

It helped me when depressed to come out of immobility and stop postponing even the simplest tasks : take out the garbage literally doable in under 60 seconds including going up and down the stairs, reply to some small emails, do some simple housekeeping tasks.

I remember a study from ages ago about the people who were able to stay focused on tasks though of the stuff they had to do, and committed to doing it in 15 seconds or less after thinking about it. Especially if it was simple, quick, or easy stuff, like a 3-liner email.
