The Rule of 3

There are too many experts publishing advice lists that are just too long.

What good is a list of the top 12 things you can do to be happier, or the top 21.5 questions you should ask a prospective customer, if you can only remember the first handful?

Life is too busy and hectic to be able to truly focus on more than a few things at a time!

You can make consistent, measurable, progress just by focusing on a few things at a time. Do a few things every day, or even several times a day, and you will accomplish a lot more in less time!

Follow the rule of 3! Make a list of the 3 most important things you want to do right now. Fight the urge to make a longer list. Get those 3 things done as fast as you can...then think about making a new list of three. I guarantee you will feel a greater sense of accomplishment than you would by making a list of 20, 30, or 100 urgent things and only getting 1 or 2 of them done.

For example, if you really want to get healthy, remember this list of 3 at restaurants (that is, if you have to eat out at a restaurant).

The 3 things I should eat:
1. Vegetables
2. Fruits
3. Lean meats (substitute if you are a vegetarian/vegan.)

Clear out the distractions! Keep your lists simple! Get more done!
