I wish I had done this years earlier.

Over this pandemic, I needed a boost to how I got stuff done — at work and at home.

If you’re anything like me, then having a clean workspace, a cup of coffee, and a comfy sweater make a world of a difference when it comes to productivity.

However, what happens when that no longer works? What happens when you’re stuck and can’t seem to get that productivity bug back?

Well, I’ve talked about the effectiveness of time-blocking with so many people, but never really tried it out for myself.

What is time blocking?

Well, to put it simply, it’s when you block out times for specific tasks, errands, projects, etc.

Having it clearly written down puts my brain at ease because I know I won’t be pacing aimlessly trying to figure out what to do next.

It’s right there, on my calendar, color-coded and everything.

Why does it help?

Sure, you can easily write down a to-do list of all the things you have to get done that day.

I have a muggle day job, write, sing, and do voiceover by night, along with all the other projects happening in my life. Cat mom. She/her.
