Implement Time-blocking to Make Your Schedule Easier

Swap your to-do list for blocks of scheduled time

Previously, we discussed to-do lists and the need to prioritize your list (if you use one) to make sure that you get the most important work done first.

Time-blocking is the practice of planning out every moment of your day in advance and dedicating specific time “blocks” for certain tasks and responsibilities.

The reason why time-blocking works is simple. When a task is jotted down on a list, odds are that it will take a while for it to be completed (many listed tasks never get done at all.)
