List Of Six - How To Increase Your Productivity Immediately.

Are you interested in increasing productivity in your home or office? Using this simple idea can increase your productivity immediately.

An Idea Worth $25,000

I'd like to tell you the story of how sharing one simple idea earned a man $25,000 and how his idea can mean even more to you. Now, this story is not new and the exact words spoken have been long forgotten, but the principle it teaches can revolutionize your life. If you use what you are about to learn, you will begin getting more things done that you ever thought possible.

More Knowledge Isn't Going To Help

The efficiency expert named Ivy Lee wrapped up his short presentation. He felt confident. After all, he had given the speech before and had found success. To top it off, he knew how badly this steel mill needed his help.

He stared the stone faced president in the eye. "Mr. Schwab, if you allow me the chance to help, I'll teach you and your executives to manage better. You'll know how.."

Schwab cut him off. "Look, Mr. Lee, I'm sure your services are great, but we don't need them. We don't need any more 'knowing' around here. I don't manage as well as I know how to now." He shook his head. "We already know what we should be doing. If you can just show us a way to get it done better, I'll pay you anything you want."

For a moment, Ivy was almost flustered. A lesser man would have turned tail and run. Ivy forced himself to remain cool and collected. After all, he had an idea.

Ivy took a step toward the the steel president's desk. "What if I could give you something in the next 20 minutes that would raise your efficiency by 50%?"

Schwab raised an eyebrow and tilted his head slightly. "Go on."

The Idea

Lee smiled to himself. This was a good idea. He bent down and rifled through his briefcase for a moment, then pulled out a small blank piece of paper. He put it on the large desk and slid it toward Schwab.

Schwab looked slightly confused. He glanced up at Ivy Lee and then stared at the paper.

Lee took a half step back. "Do you see this piece of paper?"

Through a furrowed brow, Schwab looked up again. "Of course."

"Take that paper and write down the six most important things you need to do tomorrow."

Schwab thought for a couple of minutes and scribbled down six items. After he finished, he tossed his pen back onto the desk. "Now what?"

Lee folded his arms and looked down at the paper. "Now number them in order of importance."

Schwab reached across the desk to grab the pen he had just flung. It only took a moment to put them in order. This time he laid the pen on top of the list.

He gave a nod. "There."

Lee smiled again. "Now, tomorrow when you get to work, I want you to work on the first item until it is done. Distractions will arise. Ignore them. Only work on number one until it is done. Then move on to number two, then when that's also finished, number three, and so on. At the end of every day, make a new list. Don't worry about the things that don't get done. You will know you have been doing the most good possible for your company, and if you can't get all items done using this method, you couldn't get them done using any other system, either. Once you've had time to prove to yourself the value of this, have your people try it out as well. In fact, try it out as long as you like. Then, you can send me a check for whatever you think it is worth."

The steel mill president stood up and extended a hand, but he looked lost in thought.

They shook hands and Lee left, confident his idea was a winner.

The Payoff

Several weeks later, Ivy Lee received a letter in which Schwab informed him that his list idea was the most profitable thing, from a money standpoint, that he had ever learned.

Enclosed in the letter was a check for $25,000.

It has since been said that this simple idea was largely responsible for helping the obscure steel mill grow to be one of the largest steel producers in the world.

In other words, to Bethlehem Steel, this idea was literally worth millions. How much will it be worth to you?

The List Of Six

The $25,000 idea is the idea behind the List Of Six. As I started to use this idea, I found I was getting a lot more done every day. For a while I used little pieces of paper to keep my list of six most important things to do each day. It worked great. I got a lot of things done.

However, I'm a nerd, so eventually I decided to write a little program to keep track of it for me. In the design of the program, I wanted it to:

  • be simple to use.
  • force the list to be short.
  • produce a history of what I've done.
  • be effective.

I call the program I came up with "List Of Six," and I believe I have met all of my goals. It's been very useful to me, and so I figured it would be useful to others.

Simple to use.

The buttons are readable. There are absolutely no confusing and useless options. You don't have to manually save your list, it's done automatically. If you want a new task, just click "Add Activity." If you have finished a task, just click the task in the list, then click "Complete Activity." If you no longer want to have a task on your list and you haven't done it, just click the task in the list then click "Delete Activity." It allows you to click and drag tasks in their list to order them. The usage is very simple.

Short List

It will only allow you to have six tasks in your list at any time. It is easier to stay focused (and less depressing) than with a long list. More Focusing = Increasing Productivity

Produce a History

List of Six allows you to see what you've completed over the past week, month, year, or all time.

Effective

It is exactly what it should be. A list of six tasks that can be ordered by importance. Nothing more, nothing less. Effective in concept and simplicity. Use it for a couple of days and see how effective it really can be in helping you increase your productivity.

P.S. Remember, decades ago the idea behind this program was worth $25,000 to one man, and millions to a steel company. Just imagine what it can be worth to you today.
