The Rule of Threes

Image
“aerial view of bridge with cars crossing” by Fahrul Azmi on  Unsplash I love generalities because it makes it easier for the simple human mind to focus and work on items when they are categorized in nice boxes. Make the math easier. Makes it easier to eat elephants. Recognize that now you are reading through this, your filter is going to show the rule of threes to you everywhere. You will also find that these “rules” will make things easier, flow better, and even provide results sooner. The Rule of Threes happens to be my favorite guideline for all things, for all time.

The most appropriate definition for a constraint is a restriction or limitation. One that you are compelled to either avoid or to complete an action. Constraints can be analogized to a bottleneck where you are unable to perform an action because the available tools, equipment, resources, time, money, etc. are unavailable for you to complete the necessary actions.
