I have broke my pagination, same posts on all pages (index.php)

I seem to have fixed the pagination issue with the custom loops, not entirely sure how it works, but it does seem to work. I have changed the custom loop to the following;

<?php
$paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$the_query = new WP_Query( array( 
'post__not_in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ),
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'paged' => $paged


) );

if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
?>

            <?php get_template_part( 'content' ); ?>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
