The Six List Rule

You know being a mom and a business woman has its interesting tales. I am sure many of you out there can attest to that! I am always on the go with diaper bag, changes of clothing, stroller and pack n play playpen in the trunk of my car and my purse and laptop in the front seat of the car! No matter where I go I just come prepared to handle my business right where I am.
Sometimes I can get so busy that I have to refer back to a strategy that I learned from reading a great book by Zig Ziglar years ago and then Mary Kay Ash started using it.
Its the six list.

Here is mine for the day:

1. Go to swap meet building clean up debris from partitions put up
2. Install MS Office onto laptop
3. Redo first book in Lili series and upload today
4. Call Ministers Alliance to get timeline for advertising for back to school event
5. Contact historical society for press release on musuem restucture
6. Work out

Serious this is my list for the day. Now according to the six list rule you cross off the things on your list that get done, if they don't get done that day you just add it to the next days' list of six. No more than that because you get bogged down.
To be honest with you this list helped me with loads of projects that I do and helped me put out my album yes (shameless promotion) and start the Lili and Friends book series.


Here are photos of proof it works right here because I have finished product.

Sometimes I slack off but as a mom and mogul in my own right, I am going back to what works for me right now.
I am suggesting that anyone that wants to see some results and you are stagnant right now that you use this method and let me know how it turns out for you!
Also I did some research on line about the six list, there are loads of websites out there trying to sell this productivity software based on this idea. Why? I use a simple black composition book and cross off and continue with the next day by just writing it down. My goodnesss how hard is that? Or your cell phone pda or a palm whatever...(that's a sidebar note) Just follow the simple rule of make a list cross off what you do and what you don't do that day put it at the top of the six list for the next day. Simple right?
