Summary
Do you feel you are in constant chaos mode? Are you always doing something but at the end of the day feel like you got nothing done? Want to know how to get rid of that looming “to do” list in the back of your mind? In this episode, we give you the scoop on time blocking, or blocking your day to do specific tasks in preset time periods. Why do you need this? People dedicate their lives to figuring out how to be present, only this doesn’t require a pilgrimage. We’re not talking about a shortcut either. It’s one more tool for your toolbox that will help you lessen your mental load.
If you are tired of feeling guilty about the things you don’t have time for, or if you are always in reactive mode and have a never ending to-do list, or if you have trouble focusing on one task and feel bogged down by menial things, please try time blocking. If you have a bunch of unfinished projects or call yourself a procrastinator, this will be a game changer for you!
