Key Takeaways:

  1. What is Time Blocking?
    • A method of allocating specific time slots to tasks for better focus and efficiency.

      • Steps to Get Started with Time Blocking:
        • Begin your day with a 10-15 minute prep session to prioritize tasks.
        • Identify:
          • Low-hanging fruits: Quick wins to build momentum.
          • High-priority tasks: Schedule them during peak productivity hours.
          • Meetings and stakeholder interactions: Cluster them into designated blocks.
          • Include buffer periods to recharge and stay flexible for unforeseen changes.
          • The Role of Self-Care in Time Management:
            • Breaks for personal growth, creativity, and decompression are key to long-term success.

              • Use digital tools like calendar apps to map out your schedule.
