I've started doing this and it has done great things for my productivity. I just sit down with the trello board for my current project in one window and google calendar in the next window. I pick two cards, think about if I need to reach out to anyone in order to do them, and block out the time on my calendar. During the day, if I change what I'm doing, I change the events on the calendar. It makes it much easier to focus more intensely on one thing.
I tried this when I was in uni and it didn't work at all --too many different assignments and I was trying to schedule out my whole day rather than 9:30am-6:30pm.
- swah 9y agoSo you create an event "calling tom" from 09:00 to 09:30, then call tom? Then check how long that took, and adjust on calendar?
- afarrell 9y agoYea, though I'm not strict about it. If the call was from 9:05 to 9:40, I leave the event alone. Note that I've not tried doing this for a day when I've got a bunch of little tasks to push through.
