Here they sat at a social breakfast table–all of the same calling, all of kindred tastes–looking round as sheepishly at each other as though they had never been out of sight of some sheepfold among the Green Mountains.

Forge your own path, trust in the magic of individuality.

Shot here from who knows where, bound for who can tell, we can love ourselves and each other while we’re here.

The Rule of 3 is a writing principle that suggests that a trio of entities such as events or characters is more

  • humorous
  • satisfying
  • effective.

Three entities combines both brevity and rhythm with having the smallest amount of information to create a pattern.

The rule has been confirmed by anthropological experts as an archetypal principle that works on three levels:

  • sentences
  • situations
  • stories.

All 28 tasks in the sequence can be done in one day, but completing the entire list, even at nine minutes per item, would be 252 minutes, or 4.2 hours out of the 16 available to me.
