Elevating Academic Management: Introducing Zoho ToDo

Academic professionals and administrators in private higher education institutions understand the intricacies of managing educational processes. While the two-minute rule coined by David Allen is familiar, where tasks requiring less than two minutes should be addressed instantly, the academic realm is characterized by tasks demanding more time and effort. These tasks deserve careful monitoring to ensure their timely completion. Introducing a new perspective on the two-minute rule: if a task requires more than two minutes, it's time to integrate it into your organized to-do list and assign it accordingly—welcome to Zoho ToDo!
