About this e-learning material

Time blocking means deciding in advance when you will do certain kinds of work, when you will rest and when you will turn to the people and interests that matter to you. In this e-learning material you read about how this approach can reduce constant switching between tasks and make your priorities easier to see.

The topics include mapping how you currently spend your time, grouping similar tasks together, protecting blocks for focused work, planning breaks and buffer time, and adjusting your schedule when plans change. You also explore how to keep time blocking flexible rather than strict, so it supports your life instead of controlling it. Practical exercises guide you in drafting and reviewing your own blocked schedule.

This material suits professionals, learners, parents and anyone trying to balance several priorities in one day. You work through it at your own pace and adapt each idea to your own rhythm.
