When we think of self-care, most of us imagine spa days, yoga, meditation, or maybe a well-deserved vacation—anything to break away from the grind. But here’s the question you didn’t know you needed to ask: Could time-blocking actually be the most powerful form of self-care?
Even though we’ve all done it at some point, we don’t really enjoy time-blocking. And that’s probably because we don’t yet understand the full power of our greatest productivity tool -- the calendar.
Ah the calendar; that little grid we love (or more likely, hate) to fill with back-to-back meetings and never-ending deadlines.
It feels like the calendar is the ball and chain that keeps us tied to our desks. And to some extent it is, but here’s the surprising reality: using your calendar in the right way is the exact thing that gives you more freedom.
Seriously! It’s like a magic trick. You think it’s taking away your time, but instead, it gives you more of it. And when you have more time, you have more freedom.
If this all sounds confusing, let me explain.
