I’m gonna try doing the rule of three! Thank you!

@Nan- thanks so much for your kind comment! I’m glad 168 Hours has been helpful to you. I definitely think we do more (that matters) by trying to do less. There’s no point being busy with things that aren’t important.

Thank you! Ideas like the rule of three help me curb anxiety by planning for the necessary and the meaningful, and cutting out a lot of the rest.

For me it was a long run, a birthday party, and watching some of the marathon. We wound up doing other fun things too (a carousel ride, playing in the park, husband and my quality time together watching the Aggie game) but I hadn’t planned on those. Overall, a good balance.
