In The One Thing, Gary Keller and Jay Papasan tell us:
“Most people think there’s never enough time to be successful, but there is when you block it. Time blocking is a very results-oriented way of viewing and using time. It’s a way of making sure that what has to be done gets done. Alexander Graham Bell said, ‘Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.’ Time blocking harnesses your energy and centers it on your most important work. It’s productivity’s greatest power tool.”
I schedule all my important tasks in blocks of time.
For example:
- 15-minute connection time block with my child.
- 50-minute deep work time block.
- 30-minute learning time block.
- 15-minute meaningful work time block.
- 10-minute rest time block.
Do you have any ideas for time blocks you can create?
