Well, there are actually two best kept secrets in time management-time blocking and task batching. Today, we are focusing on time blocking. I use time blocking to get back on schedule when my days or weeks start becoming chaotic or I start losing control over my calendar. This goes for both professional and personal commitments because let's be honest, most of us are working on or trying to accommodate someone else's schedules and priorities a lot of the time. And we don't always have a choice about it. So, what exactly is it?
Time blocking is like playing Tetris with your schedule, but instead of stacking blocks, you're slotting in dedicated chunks of time for specific tasks or projects. Whether it's conquering that looming project deadline or finally tackling your overflowing inbox, time blocking is your go-to strategy.
