Time Blocking: How to Get The Most Out of Your Schedule

Some of the most productive people in the world swear by a technique called time blocking. Here’s how to use it.

Ever heard of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, or Cal Newport?

Yep — all time-blockers. And they’re not doing it because they like coloring in their bullet journals. They’re squeezing every drop of productivity from their days.

It’s simple and it works. And I’m going to show you how.

So, let’s see if this sounds familiar:

You have too many things to do, and the list never gets smaller. You’re juggling work, side projects, and your personal life. They all demand more of your time. You want to give them all more time.

Whenever you start working on your list, something comes up. An important email that needs a reply. An unscheduled meeting. The phone rings.

It probably seems normal now — just a part of living in a busy world.

Getting things done is hard.

Well, I’ve got some news.

Making lists of things to do, and trying desperately to finish them isn’t enough. It doesn’t give your days structure or routine. To-do lists don’t help you focus.
