Finding Balance with the Ivy Lee Method
Today is January 31st, 2023 and I have a lot of responsibilities — it's important to find a balance between taking care of my obligations and working towards my goals. How can I do this?
Charles M. Schwab once famously asked Ivy Lee, a public relations specialist, to help increase productivity in his steel company. Ivy Lee created a simple method that helps people take control of their days by focusing on 6 tasks each day:
Write down 6 tasks for tomorrow and prioritize them.
Start with the first task and complete it before moving onto any other activity.
Repeat until all 6 tasks are finished.
For this suggestion company head Charles M. Schwab later paid him $25,000 (the equivalent of $580K in 2023 dollars), saying it had been the most profitable advice he had received.
To help me plan and meet my goals, I'm using the Ivy Lee Method and it's already proven to be a valuable tool.
