Time-blocking is a technique that helps us improve our efficiency. When we properly manage the allotment of our tasks, fragmentation decreases and an optimal workflow is created.
Many people procrastinate due to not using their time properly, which reduces productivity. Through time-blocking, we can delineate which task to do when, which helps to expedite work. This not only saves time but also makes us circumspect, so we can scrutinize each task. It augments our focus and prevents unnecessary dissipation.
When we juxtapose time and modulate for each block, we become more cognizant and can focus on the indispensable aspects of work.
Time-blocking teaches us to recalibrate and helps bring more yield in the long run.
