Ivy Lee and the six things that you must do today Ivy Lee Charles M Schwab The Ivy Lee Peak Productivity Method 1. Don t pay me now. After 3 months pay me what you think this advice is worth At the end of each work day, write down the six most important things that you must accomplish tomorrow. Do not write more than 6. Prioritise those things in terms of true importance. When you arrive tomorrow, concentrate only on the first task. Work until the first task is finished before moving on to the next one. Approach the rest of your list in the same fashion. Move any unfinished items to a new list of six tasks for the following day. Repeat this process every working day. 2. 3 months later, Charles M Schwab sent Ivy Lee a cheque for $25 000 3. This is the equivalent of $450 000 dollars today 4.
