Nancy, that is a terrific visual way to do it, and to share it with the whole team.

I have a write-on board a work where I list the important things to accomplish each day, usually not more than six. I love being able to erase them before I leave each day, and the *volunteers* get to see what they accomplished. It's become a great way to build self-confidence in those who don't feel that they have much to offer. And it helps me stay on task in an often chaotic atmosphere.

Julia, if the list is a monster, you need to find ways to get rid of some of it, even as a solopreneur. Here are 10 ways to delegate without hiring staff.

This sounds like a great idea - I'm definitely going to implement this - I actually made a list of the things I need to accomplish last night, so I'll work on those this morning.

I'd love some suggestions for how to best manage my HUGE to-do list - I'll pull my daily six from this list. I'm a solopreneur so most tasks fall to me, and I'm not sure how to best manage my monster list.

Tara, it certainly sounds like a good idea!

Someone sent this to me today, and it's the second time in the last 5 hours that I've heard about a 6 things list. Incredibly. I think I'm supposed to start making a 6 things list every night for the next day, ya think? :)

Cool to see this post go a little viral today!

Bradford, love that it is actually working for you.

Chris, the rundown list from TV is a great analogy. I'll be using that idea!

Carlos, I'm sorry it hurt, but I hope it helps make change.

This post came to me as a strong punch on my nose. It hurt. But was extremely valuable. Thanks a lot.

I like the concept and used to have a rundown in TV. I would edit one item at a time and it helped to keep me focused.

I think I will use this in business as well.
Thanks for the reminder.

We have been using this method in our office for the past six months with great results. I agree that the key is sticking with it, and some days are better than others. Another key is to keep you longer list of future items accessible so you can feed it to your daily list of six when you have an opening.

Very sage advice - forces you to focus on what is important and be realistic with what can be achieved in one day.

That is very interesting. Six items. This type of thing is something that I must become better about so I think that I am going to try it. Thank you for the post.
