Time-blocking is a scheduling technique where you divide your day into specific blocks of time dedicated to particular tasks. It works well alongside decluttering by:

1. Creating Structure: Helps you allocate time for work, decluttering, and relaxation, preventing chaos.
2. Eliminating Multitasking: Focusing on one task at a time leads to higher efficiency and deeper work.
3. Reducing Procrastination: When tasks have a designated time slot, you're more likely to follow through.
4. Ensuring Work-Life Balance: Helps set clear boundaries between work and personal life, reducing burnout.
5. Encouraging Consistency: Regularly blocking time for organization ensures that clutter doesn’t pile up again.
