Product Information

While productivity and time management go hand in hand, sometimes you want to manage your time in a way that allows you more time to unwind or participate in hobbies or extracurricular activities. Time management makes it possible to include everything into your daily schedule, no matter what category the activity falls under. While few, if any, of us will ever have to deal with a schedule as demanding as that of Musk, he has everything pre-planned down to 5-minute increments. He is an excellent example of how timeboxing is used. Without setting aside the proper time to accomplish everything Musk needs to accomplish in a day, there’s no way he could get everything done. We can emulate this method for the smaller, less frequent tasks we have to handle every single day.

To start working, you can create projects and add tasks that represent timeboxes - you can then select the project and task you want to work on, as well as associate them with the right tags, for easier filtering and management once it's time you analyze your results.

Efficiency – Time boxing will show you where your time is wasted, which can greatly impact your productivity. For example, let us say you always go around the corner to the busiest coffee shop in town for a morning coffee. You get there, park, wait in line and spend fifteen or twenty minutes getting coffee. Knowing this, you can look at how fast people are making it through the drive-through or stop somewhere less crowded and cut that time down by five to ten minutes. For example, after every 3 hours per day you've spent successfully writing and editing 400 words for your 10,000 research paper in total, you can reward yourself by going to a prolonged coffee break with friends or watching an episode of your favorite TV show on Netflix. Time Management – Giving yourself the time you need is a skill, but anyone can learn it. As you time box, you will inevitably make mistakes, but instead of that being the end of it, you’ll be able to learn from them and adjust your future scheduling to suit your real needs. If you're unsure of what you should do after each timebox, make matters clearer by making a difference between "hard" and "soft" timeboxes:

This template is for you if you want to remind yourself to take regular breaks during work hours. I recommend using the Pomodoro Technique with this template. The number of priorities matters too. Should it be three, two, or one? What if you usually have to work on more than three? The most popular one could be the Rule of Three, a writing principle that states that a trio of events or characters is more humorous, satisfying, or effective than other numbers. [3] Rule of three (writing) . (2021, August 12). In Wikipedia. But, the author of the bestselling book Good to Great Jim Collins recommends two priorities. The ONE Thing suggests that you spend a significant amount of time working on the one thing that matters most for your career.

A model is a “system or thing used as an example to follow or imitate.” We can see this in a business model that lays the groundwork of an organization with guidelines it follows to maintain operations. You can use a timeboxing model to get your time management plan moving and keep it consistent. Setting a dedicated time frame to work on tasks helps you focus on said tasks, and the timer inspires you to avoid distractions and procrastination. Of course, you can also parse the 3 hours in smaller timeboxes, and separate them with short breaks - this way, you'll make the work session even more manageable. For example, you can work for 25 minutes and then take a 5-minute break, before resuming work - this is called the Pomodoro time management technique, and is a great solution for the length of your timeboxes.
