Ep 36 – Managing the Invisible – Hidden Sub-Tasks in Your Time Blocking

You are someone who does a great deal of time blocking in your calendar. You follow the best practice and don’t try to schedule big complex tasks – instead, you schedule their sub-tasks. But how do you deal with tasks whose complexity is hidden? In other words, it contains far more sub-tasks than you imagined. When you come upon them, a 4-hour task can take 20 hours!
