We all have small gaps of time in our schedule throughout the day.
That time adds up.
You want to use those gaps wisely so your time doesnt go to waste.
One option is to assign small tasks to them every morning.
Over at 99u, productivity expert Jordan Cohen suggests going about this in two steps.
First, take a few minutes at the beginning of your day to identify where any gaps might exist.
Maybe it’s twenty minutes in between meetings, for example.
Second, schedule the tasks you want to accomplish in each gap.
This is probably less taxing work or just a to-do item youve been procrastinating.
I love this idea, but its important to leave some free time in your schedule, too.
Plus, youneed time to relaxand recharge during the day, too.
So instead of scheduling constant, back-to-back work, here’s how I do it.
I make a weekly running list of the small, quick tasks Ive been putting off.
Each day, Ischedule my workand identify my gaps.
When they come up, I use that time to tackle one item on my weekly running list.
But I check that to take those necessary mental breaks, too.
Theres nothing wrong with either of those things; they serve a purpose.
