Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I plan?
Plan the next day the evening before. Review the week every Sunday or Monday morning. Don't plan more than a week in detail — life changes too fast.
What if my day constantly gets disrupted by meetings and requests?
That's exactly what time blocking is designed to help with. By starting each day with a plan, you can see which disruptions are worth accommodating and which can be redirected. Block 'Office Hours' or 'Admin Time' slots to batch interruptions.
