How To Boost Productivity And Stop Procrastinating By Taking Massive Action with Lauryn Evarts
The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast
Ivy Lee Method for Productivity
Summary: The Ivy Lee Method is a productivity technique involving prioritizing six tasks each day. Lauryn Evarts adapts it by listing six business and six personal tasks. Focus on completing the first task before moving to others, promoting proactivity over reactivity. This method emphasizes working on your business, not in it, by prioritizing tasks that truly move the needle.
- ✍️ Prioritize Daily: At the end of each workday, write down the six most important tasks for the next day, both business and personal. Prioritize them in order of importance.
- 🎯 Focus on One: Concentrate solely on the first task until completion. Avoid distractions like email or reacting to others' demands.
- ✅ Sequential Action: Work through the list sequentially, crossing off each completed task for a sense of accomplishment.
- 🔄 Adapt and Repeat: Adjust the timing of personal tasks as needed. Repeat the process daily.
- 📈 Strategic Tasks: Include tasks that contribute to business growth and long-term goals, not just daily operations.
- 🤔 Proactive vs. Reactive: Prioritize proactive work to control your agenda. Avoid immediately reacting to external demands.
- ✨ Moving the Needle: Select tasks that significantly impact progress, not just busy work.
Key Takeaway: Prioritize your daily tasks, focus on one at a time, and work proactively to achieve significant progress.
