Time Blocking with Kids at Home (The Interruptible Version)
Plan for the interruption instead of around it. Work that survives being put down, and the one block worth actually defending.
Newest first. If you know what you want to fix, the topics below are the faster route.
Plan for the interruption instead of around it. Work that survives being put down, and the one block worth actually defending.
Start from the week you actually had, not the one you want. Block the shape of the day rather than the hours, and only three blocks are yours.
Twelve weeks is long enough to finish something and short enough to see the end. The prompt, and the two weeks you must leave empty.
Three formats, and the one design choice that decides whether a missed day reads as a gap or a failure. Including when the answer is no tracker.
Twelve thousand photos is a decision problem, not a tidying one. Work backwards from finishing, and start with this year rather than 2011.
One bulk move, three rules, and an honest list of the emails you are never going to answer. Search does the work, not reading.
Most of it is noticing, not doing, which is why it never reaches a to-do list. Five categories, twenty minutes, and a conversation worth having.
Dumping is the easy half. This is the sorting half: four buckets, the vague ones named, and the items that are secretly the same task.
Work backwards from the door, find the two minutes that actually cost you, and give the children the parts that do not need you.
Most of what makes a morning bad was decided the night before. Four small things, ten minutes, and none of them are self-improvement.
