Effective Time Blocking
Do you find yourself writing lists just for the sake of writing lists?
Do you add simple tasks to your list just so you can cross them out to make yourself feel better?
Do you pick off the easy tasks, just meaning that the jobs you dread stay on your list indefinitely?
You need to be time blocking! Time blocking is a simple but effective time management method that asks you to divide your day into blocks of time.
Each block of time is dedicated to a specific task, or group of tasks, and only those specific tasks. This does away with the bad old to do list, that is never completed, only added to.
With this system you start each day with a schedule that clearly states what you’ll work on and when.
It’s simple but so effective, and will totally change the way you go about your day.
Time blocking works perfectly :
If you have a lot of different projects or responsibilities. It stands to reason that this will apply to everyone at the start of their online business journey. It’ll be just you at the beginning so your skillset is going to need to be broad by necessity.
If you are one of those people who gets caught up by “shiny object syndrome”.
You get distracted by the email that’s just landed or the Facebook post that you just have to comment on.
If you are someone who finds it hard to find the time to work on your business rather than in it, meaning your strategic approach isn’t always what it could be, and you end up being more reactive than proactive.
Our Effective Time Blocking workbook is packed with useful tips and tricks to move you from being a time starved stresshead to a super organised creative.
We’ll cover the what, the why and the how to leave you 100% clued up on, and ready to implement this system that seems so simple but has such a dramatic effect on productivity and mindset.
And just in case you’re not convinced, just check out this quote from Cal Newport, author of Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World, who dedicates 20 minutes every evening to scheduling out the next work day:
“Sometimes people ask why I bother with such a detailed level of planning. My answer is simple: it generates a massive amount of productivity.
A 40 hour time-blocked work week, I estimate, produces the same amount of output as a 60+ hour work week pursued without structure.”
Investing a small amount of time each week to get your time blocking sorted will yield so many benefits :
More clarity
More organised
More consistent
More productive
Less distracted
More efficient.
