My friend Rob Hatch added these two important elements:
“I can only do one thing at a time.”
and
“What’s the most important thing for me to be doing right now?”

My friend Rob Hatch uses these two reminders during the day, when he’s following his six list. They keep him on track:

I can only do one thing at a time.
What’s the most important thing for me to be doing right now?

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.

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? :)
