1-3-5 Daily Plan

A one-page daily plan built on the 1-3-5 rule — a simple cure for the endless to-do list that never gets done. Instead of writing twenty things and finishing five, you commit to nine: one big task that would make the day a win, three medium tasks that genuinely matter, and five small ones to clear out. Naming a single big task up front is the whole point — it's the thing you protect your morning for and do before the small stuff quietly eats the day. Write a one-line focus for the day at the top, fill the three tiers with a checkbox beside each task, and work top to bottom. Nine items is about all a real day holds, which is exactly why the limit helps. Print it fresh each morning, or run it blank as a repeating daily template.
