Why six?

Six isn't an arbitrary number. Fewer and you under-use the day; more and you're back to a list you negotiate with instead of finish. Six is enough to fill a focused day and few enough that ranking them actually forces a decision. The constraint is the feature: when only six make the cut, the seventh-most-important thing has to wait — and that's usually the right call.

That's what I do for you each morning: hold the line at six, in order, so the day has a shape before it starts.
