How to win the lottery in 21 easy steps.

Or…

How to have the best life ever in 29 easy to follow morning behaviors.

Is this getting a little crazier? Okay, I’m not offering ways to solve all of your woes in “X” amount of steps. But there sure are a lot of articles out there specifying that they can teach you to accomplish every known goal ever sought after by humans; just follow their self-described set of numerable steps.

I’ve become a little critical of any article that offers more than five steps in any title. Truthfully, if you are telling me that you could solve world hunger in six steps, you’ve already exhausted my mind and I’m moving on.

It’s not that I don’t believe that your self-ascribed method could work in the number of steps that you have broken your task into, but it’s the fact that if I search a little further, I will be able to find someone that claims to accomplish the same thing, minus one step. It’s almost a game of “name that tune” any more.

“I can name that tune in six notes.”
 “I can name the tune in five notes.”
 “I can name that tune just by observing the look on your face.”

So to those writing articles with a set number of tasks in the title, I challenge you to “name that tune” in less than five steps. Otherwise, I will become a millionaire elsewhere and have the best morning routine ever and learn a new habit quicker and follow the steps to a happier life further down the list of available article titles.
