Productivity tips are everywhere, and sometimes the search for such meta-improvements can get in the way of actually getting your tasks done.
I am as guilty of this as anybody, and I have found more tips and techniques that don’t work for me than those that have.
So what failed me?
I will try to help you today, as I try to do in all my writing.
1. Time Blocking
Yes, I am starting off with what some consider the holy grail.
Time blocking is just too restrictive for me.
By the time I get into something, my time block is up. Or the opposite happens, where I have more time than needed.
Now I know what people say. Just adjust it as you go along.
But then this becomes a chore and a task in itself.
