77. How to Use Time-Blocking for Better Focus and Productivity

If you’re overwhelmed, distracted, or constantly wondering where your day went, time-blocking can help. 

And if you've tried time blocking before and thought it “didn’t work”, I invite you to try it again using the strategies I teach in this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast.

Listen in as I break down how to use time-blocking to improve focus and productivity without cramming more into your schedule. Whether you're a student juggling coursework or a professional managing multiple projects, you'll learn how to use this flexible structure to plan your day around what matters most.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to use it as a student, professional, or anyone who wants to stay focused
• Real-world examples of how to build a time-blocked day
• Why time-blocking can feel hard — and how to make it easier
