How To Save 10–20 Hours Per Week With The Time-Blocking Technique
One study even showed that time-blocking triples your productivity.
Time-Blocking is one of the most effective time-management techniques used by peak performers such as Elon Musk, Cal Newport, and Nir Eyal. It is the practice of dividing your day into different blocks of time — and each time block is dedicated to one highly specific task or activity.
