Try out these 4 methods of time management if time blocking isn't your thing
4 Ways - OTHER Than Strict Time Blocking -to Manage Your Time and Get Things Done If the link to play the video above isn't working, click here to watch. What's the very best way to manage your time and get things done? The answer is different for everyone, Reader. Because the very best method for you is the one that works for you, in your current work situation and your season of life. Time Blocking is Powerful, but It's Not for EveryoneAs powerful as it is, traditional time blocking may not work for you. Maybe you have to deal with frequent, unexpected interruptions. Maybe your schedule is directed by the demands of others. Or maybe time blocking just feels too restrictive and diminishes your productivity rather than enhancing it. Whatever the reason, instead of trying to make a round peg fit into a square hole, I suggest experimenting with other alternatives to find what does work for you. And that's why I'm sharing today's video. 4 Alternatives to Traditional Time BlockingHere are the four time management methods explained in the video:
The beauty of it is that you don't necessarily have to choose just one of these methods. You can mix and match to find what best serves you. Experiment and Find What Works for YouThe primary goal of time management is being more intentional about how you use your time. It's about taking control of your day and optimizing your productivity. It shouldn't feel like a chore or a burden, but rather an empowering guide to keep you on track. So try some of these methods on for size. Pay attention to what works, and what doesn't. Then make the alterations needed to make your time management system a perfect fit ... whatever that looks like for you. And continue to be open to changing things up as needed. Remember, time management is meant to serve you, not the other way around.

How to Reset When Your Day Goes Off the Rails No matter how well you plan your day, Reader, life will happen — especially when you’re working from home.
