You probably heard of the number of the beast and its angelic counterpart (777).
But have you heard of the 333 method?
The 333 method is a way to get organized by restoring some semblance of control over your life. It’s also a great technique to prevent writers from getting unhinged.
Here’s how it works:
Dedicate three hours to the top item on your to-do list. Like slaying that tedious listicle on “The 10 best knitting clubs in Florida.” Set three hours of minimal disturbance and get down to it, no excuses. It’s basically “eating the frog.”
Next, it’s time to settle three maintenance tasks. These are the chores that you got to do to maintain your professionalism and credibility.
For me, it’s typically something like clearing my emails, sending X client pitches, and finishing the outstanding article edits from yesterday.
Lastly (and certainly not the least), you got to mindfully unwind and fulfil three self-care activities.
Note: I consider this the linchpin for preserving one‘s sanity in modern times. Spa treatments, walking the dog, and retail therapy are all wonderful options here.
So, would you give the 333 technique a go? I think it’s a nifty way to compartmentalise a chaotic day, don’t you agree?
