Timeboxing is a productivity technique that involves setting a specific amount of time to complete a task or a group of tasks. It is commonly used as a time management strategy to help individuals stay focused, organized, and efficient in their work or daily activities.
Here’s an example of timeboxing all 24 hours in a day:
6:00 AM - 7:00 AM: Morning routine (exercise, shower, breakfast)
7:00 AM - 8:00 AM: Commute to work
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Emails and prioritizing tasks for the day
