You've heard of girl math, but one poster has shared how "girl science" has helped her be more patient when making important decisions—and it all comes down to the magic number three. (@skyfishingforskyfish), the 22-year-old who goes by the alias Sky Fishing, said that following the rule of three has been transformative for her. If there is ever anything she really wants, or she's struggling in a new environment, her mantra is always the same: give it three months.
Speaking to about how this theory has helped her over the years, Sky Fishing, from Los Angeles, California, says it has been "massively helpful" to cope with big changes and to have clarity when making important decisions. "If I can't do it in three months, it can't or shouldn't be done," she said. The rule of three can be applied to anything from moving to a new place, love life, , trying out a diet, or even buying a new product.
If she doesn't want it after waiting three months, it probably wasn't worth it. "As a kid, I moved every two years or so until I was 15. I learned quickly that the gestation period required for a stranger to be welcomed in is three months," Sky Fishing told .
"As I got older, I realized it wasn't just true in social dynamics; it's a universal code for determining if something is truly to your liking. Big life alterations need time, and I firmly believe that is three months." Some people might think it's absurd to wait three months for something, but Sky Fishing said that is because toda.
