How I learned to embrace timeblocking

We recently released a new timeblocking feature for product we are working on (Taskable). It was easily our most requested feature, but not something I had previously practiced.

To dogfood our own product, I started trying out timeblocking this year, and I am now a total convert.

Here is why it works for me:
💪 Get more done in less time. Cal Newport predicts that you get 50% more productivity from a time blocked day
👀 Setting a time in my calendar gives me more accountability for completing that task
❗️ I focus on my top priorities because I am more realistic about what I can get done each day
🚄 I avoid Parkinson's Law (work fills the time available for its completion) by setting a timeblock for when I am going to get something done

I wrote up more about why it works for me, and how to get started with it

Have you tried time blocking? What has your experience been?
