NOTE

The Power of Planning Ahead

Planning and committing time in the calendar a week in advance resulted in finding two and a half more hours to work on goals./nPrioritizing and scheduling tasks in advance can lead to more productive time management./nThinking about the day and slotting time in the calendar for tasks are helpful, but planning a week ahead is even more effective./nThe calendar seven days out is often more open and flexible compared to the current day's schedule./nScheduling blocks of time for important tasks helps ensure their completion, even amidst a busy schedule./nOperating based on the assumption of finding a free moment is not a practical approach to managing tasks.
