Rule of Three

June 23, 2015

3Here’s a helpful idea for simplifying your life. It mimics the notion of an executive retreat. Do what the excecs do: give yourself a personal quarterly offsite.

It’s also known as the Rule of Three: every three months, take three hours to identify your three most important objectives for the next three months.

By taking this time out, you avoid becoming buried in day-to-day issues, and allow yourself to see the big picture.

Greg McKeown suggests it in his Harvard Business Review article where he writes about the disciplined pursuit of less. He suggests that we deliberately, strategically, and in a disciplined way eliminate the unnecessary and put our energies into what’s really important.

If yo don’t prioritise you life, someone else will.
