Ivy Lee Method
Purposedifferent
When user goals and delivery scope could drift apart, it orders the journey from goal to slice. It makes visible where an MVP can genuinely be cut.The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.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.
