Important Aspect #3 about Time Blocking Your Calendar

Today, we are talking about important aspect #3 of time blocking your calendar, which is Plan for your day’s success. Instead of living each day in an open-ended, fluid schedule of items that you will add to the “list” and get to “when you can,” time blocking allows you to begin every day with a concrete schedule that dictates exactly what you will work on and when you will do it – all set up and decided on in advance by you. Even if the time you are blocking out is for “free time” or “random projects” or “potential meetings” the fact that you have intentionally held space for those things gives you space to work on last minute activities and tasks as they arise instead of feeling like you have no choice but to fit them in immediately. In order to be successful with this, you have to be committed to going over your to do list and commitments on a monthly or weekly basis and then plugging everything into your calendar until every moment is accounted for. Once each day ends, you need to also review what did not get done so you know how to adjust the next day’s schedule accordingly. I tell my coaching clients, “If the calendar could talk, it would tell you exactly what to do every minute of the day. Knowing you have the right activities on your calendar gives you the confidence you are making progress toward the achievement of your goals.”  Tune in tomorrow for more comments about the important aspects of time blocking your calendar. For more information on time blocking your calendar for maximum effectiveness, check out an article I wrote by going to https://bit.ly/Time_Blocking.  Want more proven business success tips and resources?
