Use your calendar for productivity
Your calendar can be a tool that protects your focus, defends your productivity, and gives a sense of what you can accomplish in a week.
Merge your to-do list with your calendar. Whenever you add something to your to-do list for the week, immediately add the time it will take to your schedule. It will give you an actual picture of what you can accomplish.

Get deep work done with a focus block
A focus block is a period of work where you shut out everything, turn off your phone, and pay attention to one task.
The key to success for a focus block:
- No notification sounds or pop-ups.
- The block should have a specific goal in mind.
- Focus on one subject/project, rather than one area to another doing shallow work.
- Train the people around you not to interrupt except for an emergency.

Block off meals, fitness, and rests in the calendar
Without lunch blocked off, people often find that they do meetings or eat from their desks. The same can be said for rest and fitness time. Ensure you protect yourself from working during these times by blocking off specific times for it.
Having a schedule isn't about doing more work but getting what you want done in all areas of your life, not just your day job.

Keep meetings short
Try to keep your default meeting length to 15 or 30 minutes. When you constrain time, you focus more. Longer meetings should be the exception, not the rule.
For internal meetings, allow people to book based on your calendar. For external meetings, give people access to open spots in your calendar.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
