Mastering Time Management

Time management is priority management. When you decide what matters most, your calendar becomes a tool for progress instead of a list of interruptions.

Plan by outcomes, not hours. Define the results you want this week. Turn them into 30–90 minute blocks on your calendar and protect them.

Batch similar tasks. Group email, admin, and quick replies. Switching less saves attention and reduces invisible time loss.

Protect deep work. Mute notifications and set a timer for a focused sprint. One or two strong blocks beat a day of partial attention.

Use simple lists. Keep a short “Today” list (3–5 items) and a longer “Backlog.” Move items up only when they earn it.

Review weekly. What moved the needle? What clogged the day? Adjust the plan and try one small experiment next week.
