Aside: There’s a few advantages to scheduling the day, this way, on paper
- You *intentionally* decide a blocks of time to work daily . (i will work from 7-12 and then from 4-8) and then you *intentionally* decide what you will do with that time
- You get more done. You do better quality work.
- you can fill in gaps of time (like the tasks above)
- you decide what you will do according to the energy you think yiou have at various times of the day
- when you run yoeur day off a plan like this, you know what you’re expected to be doing at any moment. you’ll be less likely to be distracted because you know you’ll fall behind
- you get a real sense of how long work *actually* takes. you might decide the report takes only an hour, but when you are constantly over shooting by 30m every day, you know a block takes 90m on average, and you’ll plan accordingly. you have to face that reality
