- Scheduling my tasks in available slots in my week has helped me become more intentional with my time and helps me get more done.
The right setup that I’ve found is using a calendar app that also includes a sidebar with all my tasks that I need to do. So all I would need to do is find an available slot and drag and drop the task to the slot. Done. Easy peasy.
In the past, I would just have meetings scheduled then randomly try to figure out what off my task list I should tackle. This was unintentional and not always effective.
My next iteration of weekly planning will be to list out all the steps I need to take to accomplish my big goals and schedule those in my calendar. At least 1-2 tasks per goal per week for now, followed by random tasks to fill up the slots.
One added hack I’ve been including which has also added to the intentionality, is a pomodoro timer for each task along with focus sounds or music without lyrics.
That kicks it up to a whole new level of productivity.
