In this episode, I dive into the world of time blocking, a time management technique I've been experimenting with over the past several months. I share an honest assessment of how it's worked for me, what hasn’t worked, and how I've adapted the method to fit my current season of life.

I start by defining time blocking and acknowledging that while it might sound appealing, it’s not always feasible in every situation. I explore how my shift from a fast-paced job to running my own business made time blocking more practical for me, and I break down the three different approaches I’ve tested:

1. Traditional Time Blocking: Creating a weekly to-do list, assigning time blocks for each task, and using a timer to stay on track. While it’s been helpful in keeping me focused, it also requires a balance between productivity and self-compassion.

2. The 45/15 Rule: Setting a timer for 45 minutes of focused work followed by a 15-minute break. This method has been particularly effective for deep work but comes with its own set of challenges, especially when interruptions occur.

3. Time Blocking for Home Tasks: Using short, timed sessions for household chores, which has proven to be an efficient way to maintain a tidy home while freeing up more leisure time.

Throughout the episode, I share my insights, including the pros and cons of each method and the importance of finding what works best for your unique circumstances. Ultimately, I highlight that while time blocking can be a powerful tool, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, and it’s okay to embrace a slower, more enjoyable pace when needed.
