Chunking (Time Blocking)

Chunking (Time Blocking)The idea here is simple - instead of cycling between different projects or tasks block out time in your diary to tackle the same task across projects. Cal Newport the author of Deep Work suggests that chunking or what he refers to as time blocking is far more efficient than standard work - he says “"A 40 hour time-blocked work week, I estimate, produces the same amount of output as a 60+ hour work week pursued without structure."Got Purpose?The Purpose is our periodic e-newsletter, providing you with Humans of Purpose updates and a much needed dose of inspiration and growth-oriented material.
