Time Blocking Even If You Get Distracted | Sherri Capps


Are you juggling a million things at once and feeling like there just aren't enough hours in the day? Time blocking could be the game-changer you need to take control of your schedule and boost your productivity. Let’s dive into how this simple yet effective technique can help you make the most of your time.

What is Time Blocking?
Time blocking is a method of organizing your day by dividing it into specific chunks of time, each dedicated to a particular task or activity. Instead of jumping from one task to another, you focus on one thing at a time, reducing distractions and improving efficiency.

Why Time Blocking Works
1. Clarity and Focus: By assigning a specific time slot to each task, you know exactly what you need to do and when to do it. This reduces decision fatigue and keeps you focused.
2. Reduced Overwhelm: Breaking your day into manageable chunks makes even the busiest schedule feel less overwhelming.
Increased Productivity: Focusing on one task at a time helps you work more efficiently and get more done.

How to Time Block Your Day
1. List Your Tasks: Start by writing down everything you need to accomplish. This includes work tasks, personal errands, and self-care activities.
2. Prioritize: Decide which tasks are most important and need to be done first.
3. Create Blocks: Divide your day into blocks of time, assigning each block to a specific task or group of tasks. Be realistic about how long each task will take.
4. Schedule Breaks: Don’t forget to include short breaks to rest and recharge. A 5-minute break every hour can do wonders for your focus.
Stick to Your Plan: Follow your schedule as closely as possible, but be flexible if something unexpected comes up.

Tips for Successful Time Blocking
Start with a Weekly Plan: Plan your week ahead of time, but adjust daily as needed.
Use a Planner or App: Tools like Google Calendar or a dedicated planner can help you visualize your time blocks.
Review and Adjust: At the end of each day, review your progress and make adjustments for the next day.

Time blocking can transform your day from chaotic to organized, helping you achieve more with less stress. This wasn't a technique I was familiar with, and I don't always do the things quite like here, although I try. I at least say ok for this 30 minutes whatever I'm doing x, y or z, but just one of those. 

Give it a try and watch your productivity soar!
