Step 1: Break Your Day into Blocks
Start by dividing your day into 25-60 minute time blocks. Assign each block a specific task or category—emails, meetings, creative work, breaks. This stops your brain from bouncing around and helps you dive deep. Pro tip: use timers to stick to your blocks! ⏲️💡
Step 2: Prioritize Your Most Important Tasks
Not all tasks are created equal. Use your peak focus times for high-priority work and schedule less demanding stuff during low-energy periods. Science shows prioritization combined with time blocking can skyrocket your output and slash stress! 💪📈
Step 3: Protect Your Blocks from Distractions
Distractions are productivity killers! Turn off notifications, close unnecessary tabs, and let people know you’re in a focused session. Research says even a 2-minute distraction can cost 23 minutes to refocus. Time blocking helps create a fortress of focus! 🛡️📵
