Summary of Luke Seavers's Time-Blocking - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Time-Blocking Mindset is one that aims for true productivity. It is about working smart, not hard. You can use Time-Blocking to work smarter and harder, or you can use it to work smarter. #2 Focus is a commodity in our day and age. It is something we need to learn to manage. When we feel we are being unproductive, we should figure out how we can manage our time better.
But in reality, what is more beneficial is learning to manage your focus, and the rest will follow. #3 The Time-Blocking Method requires you to accept the fact that multitasking doesn't work. In reality, your brain is only able to handle one task at a time. This was illustrated in a study where students were asked if they had seen the unicycling clown. Only 25 percent said they had seen him, because their brain was focused on their phone conversations. #4 You cannot give your full attention to two tasks at once.
It is impossible. And when you switch from one unrelated task to another, you are actually spending extra time because your brain needs to shift its focus.
