quick moment

Blink of time

A quick moment is a very brief period of time, often used when asking someone to wait or when describing how long something will take: Give me a quick moment to finish this email.

The phrase is slightly redundant—moments are already short—but the addition of quick emphasizes minimal delay or inconvenience.
