Ivy Lee Method
Purposedifferent
The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.For a deviation after a change, the method isolates the influence of the altered condition. It narrows down which differences are relevant and which are just accompanying noise.With a restless workday full of too many open items, the method creates radical simplicity. It directs attention to a short sequence instead of a broad, still-open field.
