1 – Category based planning
Categorise each of the 4 sections with a title in the planning spread before you get started on planning.
This will ensure that priority is given to things that matter most to you.
2 – Time blocking
This technique is used to boost productivity and improve your focus
How to get started on time blocking:
- Use the ruled lines in the vertical planning section to add in the times from AM to PM
- Identify the tasks that need to be accomplished
- Estimate how long each task would take to complete and add it into your vertical planning spread
- Allocate time for flexibility – this would be for unplanned events
- Review your schedule and make adjustments where necessary in order to ensure a smooth flow
