Description
The Ivy Lee Method: By 1918, Charles M. Schwab was one of the richest men in the world.Schwab was the president of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, the largest shipbuilder and the second-largest steel producer in America at the time. The famous inventor Thomas Edison once referred to Schwab as the “master hustler.” He was constantly seeking an edge over the competition.
One day in 1918, in his quest to increase the efficiency of his team and discover better ways to get things done, Schwab arranged a meeting with a highly-respected productivity consultant named Ivy Lee.
Lee was a successful businessman in his own right and is widely remembered as a pioneer in the field of public relations. As the story goes, Schwab brought Lee into his office and said, “Show me a way to get more things done.”
“Give me 15 minutes with each of your executives,” Lee replied.
“How much will it cost me,” Schwab asked.
“Nothing,” Lee said. “Unless it works. After three months, you can send me a check for whatever you feel it's worth to you.”
During his 15 minutes with each executive, Ivy Lee explained his simple daily routine for achieving peak productivity:
• At the end of each work day, write down the six most important things you need to accomplish tomorrow. Do not write down more than six tasks.
• Prioritize those six items in order of their true importance.
• When you arrive tomorrow, concentrate only on the first task. Work until the first task is finished before moving on to the second task.
• Approach the rest of your list in the same fashion. At the end of the day, move any unfinished items to a new list of six tasks for the following day.
• Repeat this process every working day.
The strategy sounded simple, but Schwab and his executive team at Bethlehem Steel gave it a try. After three months, Schwab was so delighted with the progress his company had made that he called Lee into his office and wrote him a check for $25,000.
A $25,000 check written in 1918 is the equivalent of a $400,000 check in 2015.
The Pomodoro Technique: In the late 1980's, Francesco Cirillo first came up with the Pomodoro. Cirillo came up with the name (which is an Italian word for “tomato") because he utilized a tomato-shaped egg timer when managing his time.
The idea behind the Pomodoro Technique is to break down all of your tasks into 25-minute time blocks. Between each time block, there is a five-minute break. And after completing four Pomodoros you take a longer break—usually 15 to 30 minutes. In theory, this strategy works because you completely focus on one task (like writing) without shifting focus or multitasking. When the clock is ticking, you ignore the urge to check email, hop on Facebook, answer text messages or do any other distracting activity. You’re in the zone and completely focused.
Here’s the recommended process for following the Pomodoro Technique - Time Blocking Method
• Begin with your first task.
• Set a timer to 25 minutes (either with an egg timer or with an app).
• Work on the task for 25 minutes. Avoid all distractions and urges to multi-task.
• Take a 5-minute break (short break) for energy renewal, start another Pomodoro.
• Take a 25-minute break (long break) after completing four Pomodoros.
Simple, but very effective. When you use this technique, you’ll see a dramatic improvement in your productivity and ability to get things done.
Now you have two awesome methods that can boost your productivity like a charm, why don’t combine them together by using this application.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

2 ★You can't add new tasks without erasing all the old ones? Unless I'm missing something?
3 ★Pomodoro style only and no way to tick off items. There isn't a single Ivy Lee app out there that works easily, intuitively, + well; though this is almost only app as others fall short by a mile. It needs this, though: 1. Pls lose main screen. It blocks functionality. Go directly to tasks. 2. Add "Instructions" (with "s") to a menu, instead. 3. Add ability to be task list, don't force just Pomodoro. 4. Add ability to correct/edit entries. Would re-evaluate with the above. Thx4 good start!
3 ★App has a clean, simple interface. But you can only add tasks by clearing all of them out, making it hard to transfer tasks from day to day.
