Nir And Far: Business, Behaviour and the Brain

How Successful People Timebox


Listen Later

Timeboxing is the most powerful time-management technique. However, there is no one way to timebox. Some people keep the same schedule every week and review it on Sundays. Others change their timeboxed calendar daily and review it the night before.

Some people use a spreadsheet in 30 or 15-minute increments, others use Google Calendar, and others use one of the many timeboxing apps available.

This step-by-step guide, plus timeboxing examples from real people, will help you figure out what timeboxing looks like for you.

Remember: No productivity technique is effective and easy. It’s going to be effective and hard. Nothing will magically solve time management without some effort.
