WHAT YOU MAY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TIME BLOCKING.

January 08, 2023

Time-blocking is an easy time-management hack by Cal Newport that takes just a minute but leads to so much clarity in your day.

The night before, simply divide the coming day into 30-minute blocks (or 5-minute blocks if you’re Elon Musk) and assign tasks to them. This is what it looks like.

By experience, I've learnt that time blocking helps eliminate the procrastination that stems from trying to decide “when” to start working.

If you decide when to start working in real-time, procrastination is inevitable.

You might think that you will start working in 5 minutes — but those 5 minutes will turn into an hour without you realizing it. But if it is already decided that you will start working at 2 o’clock the next day, the chances of procrastination is reduced massively — if not diminished completely.

Also, when you lay out your day on a piece of paper and assign tasks to them, you will realize that you actually have a lot of time in a day. Do this every day, and it will get rid of the “lack of time” mindset forever.

Have a fabulously productive and fruitful year 2023—managing your time well. 😘😊🙏
