Ever felt lost in research or too absorbed in a project? One useful trick I use is back timing and time blocks to keep myself focused. When deep focus or special interests take over, it’s easy to lose track of time. Let’s tackle how to stay on course. Back timing helps me plan backwards from a deadline.
Start by breaking it down with time blocks:
Divide your work into blocks. Allocate time for research, production, and fine-tuning. Remember, an hour here, an hour there!
The Importance of Breaks:
Inject short breaks between time blocks. It’s crucial for maintaining your creativity and focus.
Handling Overwhelm:
Feeling overwhelmed? Pause, breathe, and focus. Break down tasks further if needed.
Using Alarms and Reminders:
Set alarms or calendar reminders to switch tasks. It keeps you aware of time without losing your creative flow.
