Deep dives

Time Blocking and Time Shielding

Time blocking involves protecting specific time slots on your schedule to focus on important tasks, rather than blocking out time for individual tasks. It allows you to shield your schedule from other distractions and obligations, ensuring that you have dedicated time for your priorities. By intentionally planning and protecting your time, you can better manage your schedule and avoid overcommitting yourself. This approach also applies to personal time, allowing you to allocate time for hobbies or relaxation without feeling guilty.
