How We Are Different

For many people fighting negative thoughts, anxiety, and stress, Take 2 Minutes can change everything. Think of us as brief and effective brain hacks for happiness.

Powered by research, Take 2 Minutes provides easily accessible, engaging mental health activities designed to improve your day to day life. Our messages and reminders are delivered via our proprietary text messaging system.


We Use Texting to Communicate with You

Take 2 Minutes uses text messages. 92% of text messages are read by the recipient within 3 minutes!
Competitors use app notifications on your mobile device. Notifications from a mobile app are only read 24% of the time.

It costs us more money to text you, but we feel that if we are really trying to help people, then we should communicate using a means that actually reaches the people wanting help. Noah

The ability to quickly make a gratitude journal entry via text message has been the differentiator that helped me be successful at gratitude journaling. Noah

Built to be Engaging

Take 2 Minutes was built to be used in the real world, by real people who want to better themselves. Take 2 Minutes is purposefully not a mobile app that you simply download and forget. We use texting (SMS) because we want our positive messages, gratitude reminders, daily meditations, nudges, and other activities to actually reach you and for you to see them. This is why our service is delivered via text messages instead of a mobile app with notifications that are easy for you to ignore. Take 2 Minutes was built to be engaging so our activities can help you get into a better mindset and be more positive.

Real User Written Testimonials

I love T2M! The continuous encouragement and positive messages sent to me daily serve as a great reminder to dedicate time to ensure that I make my days, and others' days, better. The additional services, such as meditations and journaling options, are fantastic additions as well!
I am grateful that you are helping me with a positive response and meditation.
I'm a 20-year healthcare provider, you have been very very helpful and I like that the app doesn't scream out at me; I can choose to look at the text or not it's very comforting. There's a lot of insightful dynamics that might not be obvious to someone suffering from anxiety and who's not self-aware but I really mean it I appreciate it thank you for your message I hope you have a good day.
In the mist of loneliness and depression your creative dream has helped me many more times than I can count to bring me back to a good place. I've been in therapy for years and you guys have done more for me and I have gained more from you than all those years.
I cannot tell you how happy you have made my sister! When she bought your Take2Minutes Subsription, she saw an incredible, positive result! She went through so many products and services until she came across Take2Minutes.
