Summary

My calendar appears busy at first glance, but in reality, I only have a few meetings each day, and the rest of my time is dedicated to specific tasks and projects. Time blocking is a technique where you schedule your day into blocks of time, allocating specific times for tasks, personal activities, and breaks. This approach helps promote flow state, create a sense of control, and understand how you spend your time. There are various categories for scheduling in your calendar, including required work, recurring tasks, and habits. To boost productivity, I use three time blocking methods: manually creating blocks of time, maintaining separate calendars, and using an AI-powered scheduling assistant to automate my calendar. These tools help me manage my day efficiently and make the most of my time.
