How many of us routinely juggle 100+ projects? That’s where time blocking works for the win for me.
I reserve time on my calendar for long-form writing and video work as well as batch work the “little emails.”
Giveaway Day 1: Productivity: Time Blocks For the Win
Reserving time on calendars is so beneficial, especially if you’re the type of person who tends to get pulling into a million different directions or is asked to hop on calls frequently! Plus, it helps hold you accountable.
This is a great tip, especially when you get invited to a lot of meetings. Whenever I see my calendar getting a little too blocked up, I try to block out the rest of the day so I can make sure I get work done!

+3Time blocking is key. I prioritize projects based on deadlines. I block off time on my calendar to work on the projects, respond to emails, and anything else that will keep me from being pulled into an unnecessary meeting.
+2THIS x a million. My typical “time block” that is on my calendar almost every day is labeled as “Focus Time,” which is also labeled in red so I don’t miss it.

+4Love this!! I usually will turn my status on Teams to “Busy” if I really need to focus, but I LOVEEE the idea of blocking out time to focus.
I agree! Weekly I’ll determine my top priorities and block out time on my calendar to work on them.
