To-do Yes, But Calendar

Many believe, and rightly so, that prioritizing life events in a calendar is not only cleaner but also more effective than using endless to-do lists. Let’s ask why it is more effective. Calendars don’t foster the bad habit of ending up with overdue tasks, a common pitfall of to-do apps. Here are my thoughts on why the calendar might be a better ally in time management and being a better doer. <img alt="To-do Yes, But Calendar" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:500/1*4cijVQuejnri8X_sy5_bAQ.jpeg" style="height:672px; width:500px" /> <h1>Time Blocking</h1> By allocating specific blocks of time to tasks, you’re committing to focusing on them without distraction. This leads to eliminating multitasking and fostering prolonged focus, so the quality of work often improves. Example: Consider Alex, a digital marketer. Instead of a vague “create an ad campaign” in a to-do list, he blocks out three hours on Tuesday for brainstorming and initial design. This ensures dedicated focus and responsibility on that date. <a href="https://medium.com/@masoudghorbani/to-do-yes-but-calendar-87279b373c72">Website</a>
