The “1-3-5 rule” is an extrapolation of the “3+2 strategy” described in the previous section. Here, you choose one big task, three medium-sized tasks, and five small tasks to complete during the day. While the “3+2 strategy” limits your focus to five tasks, the “1-3-5 rule” expands the number to nine. The first advantage to this approach is that it gives you more flexibility than the “3+2 strategy.”
