The 5-Project Rule
This book will help you...
- Finish projects instead of abandoning them halfway
- Know exactly which projects deserve your attention right now
- Stop the guilt of half-done projects collecting dust
- See why your gym routine and side hustle drain the same energy as work
One day I counted my active projects. 14.
Side hustles. SaaS ideas. Courses I'd never finish. Websites I promised people. The gym membership I kept meaning to use.
I was always busy. Never productive.
The 5-Project Rule changed that. A simple framework for deciding which projects get your energy and which get shelved, no guilt attached.
This isn't about doing less. It's about finishing more.
