My answer is simple: it generates a massive amount of productivity.
Sometimes people ask why I bother with such a detailed level of planning. Productivity guru Cal Newport swears by the time blocking method, saying: Time blocking provides you with a list of tasks and a specific time frame to complete each task.īy forcing yourself to work within a rigid structure and to accomplish tasks in a given time, you are forced to bring laser focus to every activity. Standard to do lists present you with a list of tasks to complete in your own time. This method has the advantage of helping you know exactly how you’re going to use your time and exactly when you’re going to accomplish specific tasks. This allows you to work undistracted and still know you’ll get to things like email and phone calls. Reactive blocks are when you allow time for requests and interruptions, such as email and impromptu meetings.įor example, you could schedule your most challenging tasks for the first two hours of the day and plow through your inbox during the afternoon. This is when you make progress on important projects, draft important documents, or sketch out a prototype for your next great product. Proactive blocks are when you focus on important tasks that you must get done. When scheduling out tasks, it’s important to block out both proactive blocks and reactive blocks.
