Time Management Tip #10: Time Blocking
If you feel overwhelmed by your to-do list, and you’re wondering how you’re even going to make the time to organize things in the first place, this next time management tip is for you. It’s called time blocking, and it’s a time management tip everyone should use.
“What is time blocking? It’s like a real high focused time, an intentional time to work on a couple of tasks.”
What exactly is time blocking? Time blocking is a high-focused intentional time to work on a couple of tasks. What you need to figure out is how long you’re going to do it, and how many days of a week you’re going to do it.
Once you map out how long you want your time blocks to be, you need to figure out how many days a week you’re going to do it, and what you’re going to do with that time. Whether it’s prospecting, renewal reviews, quotes, backlog tasks, or anything else, you need to figure out your gameplan. It’s a great idea to write your time blocking plan down once you figure it out.
Next step when it comes to time blocking? Let your team know. Mark it on your public calendar, put a note on your door, and let everyone know they can’t book you then. That way, people are able to honor your time blocking, so you can really get things done.
Time blocking is one of our favorite time management tips because of how much work you can truly get done. If you time block for 90 minutes, two times per week, you can get a ton of work done. Just think about it: that’s three hours a week of intensely focused work time.
