Shockingly bad advice, eh?

"I finally settled on a system. I asked Ron [Conway] what he does. It’s pretty simple. In the morning, he sets three things to do for the day. If he does all three, then it’s a good day. If he doesn’t, then it’s a bad day."

Yes, shockingly bad. You seem to have missed a key part of that link - I'll put it here for you:

"Tactically, I take 3 things from my Asana and label them with “@TODAY.” If I get them done, it’s a good day. If not, then it’s a bad day. Simple but not easy."

There may be 3 things to do that day, but it all initially comes off of the TODO list that you don't want to use for some reason.
