Priorities 1/5/25.

Four steps

1. You enter 25 items that genuinely occupy your mind over a 2-3 year horizon. They may mix domains: work, family, health, passions, finances.
2. AI shows each item through 5 dimensions, groups naturally and points out conflicts. It does not judge or choose. It gives you lenses for reflection.
3. You select 5 that you choose, consciously. Limit: 5.
4. You choose 1 most important. AI generates the One Thing Manifesto: what it is, why, signals, when to review, what you say NO to.

Five dimensions, each 1-5

• Energy. Does this item give you energy or take it away? Goals that drain you rarely last 2-3 years.
• Durable value. Will this still matter in 5 years? A filter against FOMO and trends.
• Compound. Does the effect compound over time, knowledge, network, capital, reputation, or is it one-off? Compound goals beat linear goals over time.
• Identity. Does this item strengthen who you want to be, or force you to be someone else? Goals aligned with identity are easier to sustain.
• Asymmetry. Is the worst case limited and the best case open-ended, with exponential potential? Asymmetric bets have disproportionate returns.

Where this frame comes from

Artur Racicki's original frame, built on: Miller 1956 + Cowan 2001, working memory limits and why 5, not 25; McKeown 2014, essentialism; Newport 2016, deep work; Pareto, roughly 20% of actions drive roughly 80% of results. No attribution to Buffett's "5/25" rule. It is apocryphal, Buffett denied it in 2013.
