Time blocking is a time management method that asks you to divide your day into blocks of time. Each block is dedicated to accomplishing a specific task, or group of tasks, and only those specific tasks. Instead of keeping an open-ended to-do list of things you’ll get to as you’re able, you’ll start each day with a concrete schedule that lays out what you’ll work on and when.

Time blocking revolves around the idea of single-tasking, deep work, and time batching rather than multitasking & shallow work, which makes it more effective as well as efficient. Multitasking divides our attention and focuses on a lot of things at once due to which it becomes hard for a person to concentrate on one thing at a time.

Suppose you like to go for a walk when you wish to relax. You put on your earphones and decide to walk in the garden. While walking you realize you have some pending notifications from various apps and you need to check them. Afterward, you see a text from your dear friend who is asking you to take a quick survey for some important work that she is doing. It only takes you about 5 minutes to fill out the form.

All of these small, insignificant activities that you did means that your 1 hour of leisure activity got broken down into several small fragments leading to a reduction in the leisure time. As a result, you don’t enjoy or relax. Whenever we try to do more than one activity at a time, we end up not enjoying either. If we don’t give ourselves proper time to relax, our bodies and brains never get the chance to recharge and reset and we feel tired, anxious, unfulfilled, and on edge.
