Preparing the 1-3-5 list
- Chouse one important task. I'd call it the main goal of the day. A huge important task that would also take the majority of your time.

- Choose at most five small/simple tasks, like checking emails or playing a video game. Something you won't feel bad if you missed it and it won't take you long to finish it.
