Examples:

• Top 6 Tasks for the Next Day: At the end of each workday, write down the 6 most important tasks to complete the following day. Prioritize them based on importance and start with the top task the next morning.
• Batch Similar Tasks: When listing tasks for the next day, group similar ones (responding to emails, making calls) to streamline your workflow.
• Single Task Focus: Focus on one task at a time from your list, working on it until completion before moving on to the next. This eliminates multitasking and boosts efficiency.
• Delegate Tasks: While listing your 6 tasks, identify if any can be delegated to others to free up more time for higher-priority work.
• Newsletter Writing: Apply the Ivy Lee Method to plan your newsletter—break it down into tasks like outlining, writing, editing, and scheduling.
• End-of-Day Evaluation: After completing the day’s work, review what tasks were finished. Any unfinished tasks should be moved to the top of the next day’s list.
• Time Allocation: For each task on your list, estimate how much time it will take. This helps plan the day better and avoid overloading yourself.
• Prioritize Urgent vs. Important: Use the method to prioritize tasks that are not just urgent but also contribute to long-term goals.
• Daily Review: After finishing your top tasks, spend 10 minutes reviewing the day's productivity and adjusting your next list accordingly.
• Morning Focus on Top Priority: Start your workday by focusing only on your most important task until it’s finished, using the list as a clear guide to prevent distractions.
