two week rule

If you've been putting some task off for at least two weeks, then you can completely blow it off, because you've proven that it's possible to live without the completion of said task.

You've been meaning to investigate that funny noise your car engine makes in the morning, but after two weeks, there has still been no fiery explosion, so the two week rule applies, and you're safe to forget about it.
