They say,
Stick to a few friends.
A few hobbies.
But what is a few?
How can we possibly decide...
...What matters most to us?
There is, in fact, a way.
Let& #39;s find out in this thread, below.

The rule of five.
Coined by a teacher named Ron Scolastico.
"If you would go every day to a very large tree,
and take five swings at it with a very sharp axe,
eventually, no matter how large the tree,
it would have to come down."

He suggests that we can move forward
toward our ideal selves
by committing five concrete actions, or attempts,
that result in moving toward one goal.

If you& #39;re trying to break out of your shell, socially...
Try talking to five new people a day.
If you& #39;re trying to get better at logic,
Do five puzzles a day.

But we have a lot of things to get done in life.
It& #39;s unrealistic to focus on just one thing.
That& #39;s why I think we should use the rule of five,
In fives.
But we& #39;re not there yet.
There& #39;s one thing we have to do first.

Write down EVERYTHING you could possibly want
At this point in time.
Then, as you might& #39;ve guessed.
Target the five most important you have.
Eliminate the rest.
Crossing them out,
Both on paper and from your head.
Then, put those remaining five goals in priority order.

You have what defines you now.
You, at the core.
List the steps you need to sequentially achieve those goals.
You can& #39;t move onto goal 2
Without accomplishing goal 1.
That& #39;s what we& #39;re doing here.
Putting priorities and hierarchies in your head.

The number five is, weirdly enough,
All around us.
We have five fingers.
Five toes.
Why not have five goals?

I don& #39;t believe in multitasking, as we& #39;ve discussed.
But I do believe that we are multifaceted as human beings.
You need to have multiple interests to be truly whole.
But you need to balance them responsibly.
I think five is an ideal number for most things in life.

Think about it.
Can you really manage more than five hobbies...
...at a high level?
Can you really have more than five deep friendships..
Without sacrificing your relationship with yourself?
I don& #39;t know.
That& #39;s for you to decide.
But I think five is a strong baseline.
