Hey HN! In 2020, I stumbled across a productivity method called the &quot;Ivy Lee method&quot; [1], and found it made me much more productive. Basically, you write down 6 tasks you need to do throughout the day, then focus solely on them. I was so impressed that I ended up writing an android app to help me follow it, which I&#x27;ve been using for about a year. I&#x27;ve spruced it up a bit, and launched it today as &quot;Only 6&quot;.<p>There&#x27;s a free version [2] (ad-supported), and a paid version [3].<p>I built it with React Native, ClojureScript, and Re-Frame. It&#x27;s currently closed source, but if you&#x27;d like to see the source code just drop a comment here and I&#x27;ll consider making it open source. It&#x27;s Android-only at the moment, but if anyone would like to team up on an iOS version please drop me a message :)<p>Any comments or feedback are much appreciated!<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jamesclear.com&#x2F;ivy-lee" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jamesclear.com&#x2F;ivy-lee</a> [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.only6" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.only6</a> [3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.only6.premium" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.only6.prem...</a>
