Each block is dedicated to accomplishing a specific task, or group of tasks, and only those specific tasks.
Time blocking is a time management method that asks you to divide your day into blocks of time. This guide will give you an overview of what time blocking, task batching, and day theming are how a combination of these strategies can help you reclaim your schedule and the best way to use your calendar and task manager to start time blocking yourself. Struggle to find the time and mental space for big-picture thinking Spend too much time in “reactive mode”, responding to email and messagesīattle constant interruptions throughout the day Juggle many different projects/responsibilities (Jack Dorsey uses day theming to run two major companies at the same time)
Time blocking (and its close cousins time boxing, task batching, and day theming) is a simple, yet effective way to take back control of your workday. How do you balance the necessary evils of meetings, email, team chat, and "busy work" with focused time for the things you truly care about? Since becoming a digital hermit isn’t an option for most of us, we need concrete strategies to help us focus in a world designed to distract us. If there's one thing that can be said about the modern workplace, it's this: If you don't control your schedule, it will control you. "A 40 hour time-blocked work week, I estimate, produces the same amount of output as a 60+ hour work week pursued without structure."
