the '1-3-5' rule (for avoiding distractions)
The '1-3-5' rule is a helpful way to manage distractions and stay focused. It suggests that each day, you should aim to complete one big task, three moderate tasks, and five small tasks. This structure helps prioritize important activities without feeling overwhelmed, keeping you productive and balanced. By intentionally choosing a limited number of tasks and categorizing them by size and importance, the rule reduces multitasking and distractions, allowing you to concentrate on what matters most and achieve a sense of progress each day.
