Review and Update

Reflect is the keyword. After you've tried time blocking for a bit, look back. Were there tasks that consistently ran over? Any blocks that felt too short or too long? Refinement is essential. Remember, this method is about adapting to get the best results, not rigidly sticking to what first was set.
