Do you ever notice how most everything is recommended to us in 3’s? 

We’ve got the 3-R’s (reduce, reuse, recycle), hang pictures in groups of 3, I’m the youngest of 3 girls… There is an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to the “Rule of 3” theory. It’s interesting when you put this into a context that makes sense…

What would happen if we applied this theory to getting organized? 

• 3 tasks to…
• 3 minutes to… 
• 3 boxes… 
• 3 steps to….
• 3 actions for… 
• 3 files…
• 3 hours will…
