Simple To-Do List for Focus

Create your list, lock it in, and focus on one task at a time. Inspired by the Ivy Lee Method.

What is FokusList?

FokusList is a simple online to-do list app designed to help you focus on one task at a time. Unlike traditional to-do lists that overwhelm you with endless tasks, FokusList forces you to prioritize and concentrate on what truly matters right now.

Our approach is inspired by the Ivy Lee Method, a time management strategy from 1918 that emphasizes doing the most important task first, one at a time, without distraction.

How to Use FokusList

1. 1Create your list: Add the tasks you want to accomplish today. Start with 3 or fewer for best results.
2. 2Lock it in: Once you're happy with your list, lock it. No more changes—just focus.
3. 3Focus on one task: Work on your first task until it's complete. Then move to the next.
4. 4Repeat: Complete your list, then create another. Build momentum daily.

The Ivy Lee Method

In 1918, productivity consultant Ivy Lee taught Charles M. Schwab (president of Bethlehem Steel) a simple method that reportedly earned him $25,000 (equivalent to $400,000+ today):

• At the end of each day, write down the six most important tasks for tomorrow
• Prioritize them in order of importance
• The next day, focus only on the first task until it's complete
• Move to the next task only after completing the previous one
• Repeat daily

FokusList applies this timeless wisdom to modern productivity. We've simplified it even further: create your list, lock it, and focus on one task at a time.
