PMP #231: Time blocking my colleague's calendar

The Paul Minors Podcast: Productivity, Business & Self-Improvement

If you’ve read my blog for a while, you’ve probably heard me talk about time blocking before. This is a technique I’ve been following since 2010 to schedule time on my calendar to work on specific tasks and projects.

While I think it’s a very powerful technique and one of the best methods you can use to plan out your work, not everyone finds this technique easy to adopt.

My colleague, Warwick, is a good example. Since he started working with me full-time in early 2021, we’ve been doing an end-of-week review where we run down our list of clients and plan what needs to be done next for each one. Warwick would then schedule time on his calendar for this work. While he was good at making his initial plan when it came to updating his calendar and making time for new work that comes in during the week, he started to fall behind and his calendar quickly became out of date.
