What is Warren Buffett’s 5/25 Rule?

Once, Warren Buffett was traveling with one of his employees. During the traveling, Buffett asked the employee what he wanted to do in his life.

The employee replied to Warren Buffett that “I want to do a lot, I want to do hundreds of things.”

Warren Buffett told the employee to make a list of 25 tasks that they plan to do in life and write them down on a piece of paper, then arrange them according to their importance.

The employee did as Warren Buffett told him, Warren Buffett told the employee to separate the top 5 most important tasks from the 25 and start working on them.

The employee replied, “OK, I’m focusing on these 5 tasks right now and I’ll do the other later.”

Warren Buffett explained to the employee that just thinks of these 5 tasks and removes the remaining twenty tasks from the list.

Never think of them in life, keep only these 5 most important tasks of your life if you want to be successful.

This is a Warren Buffett 5/25 rule:

The only obstacle in your way to success may be that you too have made a list of hundreds of tasks and no work is being completed on any of them. Stop! Re-create your list of priorities and start working on the most important tasks only. Forget all the other tasks, they will give nothing but a waste of time.
