Episode 3589: Kyle Kowalski challenges the traditional approach of cramming more into each day and instead advocates for "better is better" through calendar time blocking. By intentionally scheduling tasks and aligning them with personal priorities and energy levels, time blocking boosts efficiency, reduces mental clutter, and fosters meaningful progress. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.sloww.co/time-blocking/ Quotes to ponder: "What gets scheduled gets done." "Time blocking is one of the best ways of turning good intentions into action." "What's important now? After a moment of reflection I realized that until I knew what was important right now, what was important right now was to figure out what was important right now!"
