Time blocking is assigning certain hours to specific tasks. It can be rigid or flexible, but the night (or weekend) before, pencil in blocks of your days for certain activities. An example: Monday, 8-11, Laundry. 11-1, Lunch and Read Mail. 1-4, Shopping ... and so on. The benefit is that the clock keeps you focused and also gives you a cutoff point even if the activity isn't finished, no guilt allowed. This will destress your day (and week)!
Twenty percent of your effort gives you eighty percent of your success. This month, allocate your time to high-value activities to let success rule! You've got this in the bag!
Do this by the day. At work, Monday might be a "Planning Day." Tuesday can be for "Creative Tasks." On Wednesday, the focus is on "Team Collaborations" and so on. In your home, see this as Monday, "Big Ticket Day" for things that cover the entire week. Tuesday is "Invisible Day" for things that only you see, such as sorting and preparing grocery lists ... you see how this goes. Make up your own themes for each day of the week, repeat, and watch it get easier!
Here are three options of things to "stop" doing: Stop checking your email when you're off the clock. No longer say "yes" to every request. Don't multitask when focusing will get the job done better. Life sorted! Let's go!
