The Rule of 3 is one of my favorite productivity rituals. It involves a simple exercise: mentally leap forward to the end of each day and ask what three things you want to have accomplished in that period.
I love this habit because of how elemental it is: you can pick only three things, and while doing so, you must fast-forward to a point in the future to reflect on a day (or week or month or year) before it has happened. Stepping into the shoes of our future selves is an underrated productivity strategy.
