Ivy Lee method for remote tech teams

Hey r/remotework 👋

I’ve been exploring ways to boost our team’s focus and output, and recently came across the Ivy Lee Method. If you’re not familiar, it’s a simple but effective productivity technique from 1918 where:

1. At the end of each day, you write down the 6 most important tasks to accomplish tomorrow
2. You prioritize these tasks in order of importance
3. The next day, you focus on completing one task at a time before moving to the next
4. Any unfinished tasks move to the next day’s list

I’m curious how teams are implementing this method! 🤔 Have you found effective ways to integrate it into your workflow?

Some questions:

• What tools or systems are you using to track your lists? 🔄
• Do you have a team-wide approach or is it individually managed? 💬
• Are people sharing their priorities with teammates or keeping them private? 🔐
• Has it actually improved your team’s productivity? 📈

Would love to hear your experiences or other simple productivity methods that work well for teams! 🚀
