What is Time Blocking?

What is Time Blocking?

  • Time blocking is a time management technique.
  • This type of time tracking requires that you divide your day into defined slots or chunks of time. 
  • Each block of time is dedicated to completing a specific task 
  • When you manage your time in this way you are ensuring your work gets complete,
  •  And ensures you are just doing one task at a time and not multitasking
  • This also means that you will not have to decide what to focus on.
  •  You will not be making constant choices about spending your time but simply following a time blocked schedule.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

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!

Jamyson Haug
