Schedule Tasks Into Calendar Slots
- Use time boxing by placing specific tasks into calendar slots instead of an endless to-do list.
- Block those slots as busy so you protect focused time and get dopamine from daily task completion.
Protect Your Calendar From Meetings
- Block task time on your calendar at work so others can't book you into meetings.
- Require people to request time, which preserves autonomy over your schedule.
Give Each Day A Theme
- Theme your days by assigning consistent workflows to specific weekdays so non-negotiables are clear each morning.
- Front-load important tasks early in the week so you have buffer time if things get delayed.
