Ep. 305: Is Time Blocking Oppressive?
Deep Questions with Cal Newport
The Effectiveness of Time Blocking for Productivity
Time blocking is highly effective for productivity as it allows for focus without context switching, leading to a 2x increase in productivity compared to other methods. It enables the brain to fully concentrate on a task for a set period, boosting effectiveness. Time blocking also aids in planning the day optimally, ensuring tasks are assigned to the most suitable times. By scheduling breaks within time blocks, the constant decision of whether to continue working or take a break is eliminated, leading to more focused and efficient work without internal debates throughout the day.
