Time Blocking: Destroy Procrastination, Get More Done, and Feel Great About It
At its core, time blocking is a potent scheduling tool that, when properly set up and adhered to, has the power to change the direction of its wielder's life. This system has largely gone under the radar, despite it being used by many famous figures who are well known for their insane levels of productivity. If you have heard of it before, it may have been under one of its many names that include time blocking, boxing, chunking, or batching.
There are many advantages to using this time management strategy, and I explain them in detail in this book. Being aware of why you may want to use this and the benefits it has to offer will give you a deeper understanding of time blocking and allow you to use these advantages consciously and more effectively. Then, I lay out the process of actually building an effective schedule. Included are also tips that will guide you through what to do in many of the different situations that can unexpectedly manifest when using time blocking and how to reduce the chances of them occurring or throwing you off track.
There are two major sections to this publication. Part one is all about time blocking and what it offers you, it will put you into the right mindset for creating schedules for yourself to begin dominating your life, and part two will show you the most efficient ways I have found to practically put together and structure your days in practice without missing things or unnecessarily wasting time.
