Pontifications
From: The Ivy Lee Method: The Daily Routine Experts Recommend for Peak Productivity
QUOTE
1. At the end of each work day, write down the six most important things
you need to accomplish tomorrow. Do not write down more than six tasks.
2. Prioritize those six items in order of their true importance.
3. When you arrive tomorrow, concentrate only on the first task.
Work until the first task is finished before moving on to the second task.
4. Approach the rest of your list in the same fashion.
At the end of the day, move any unfinished items to a new list of
six tasks for the following day.
5. Repeat this process every working day
...
The bottom line? Do the most important thing first each day. It's
the only productivity trick you need
