TIME MANAGEMENT | Where To Start

The only calendar I’m currently using is Google Calendar. Is it recommended to try use that somehow for block scheduling?

Knowing that your account is just for demonstration purposes, my question is: How many calendars do you use within Apple Calendar or Google Calendar? Are there any rules regarding the maximum number of calendars you can have?

How do you stay consistent Carl? I find I do the time blocks but I constantly get derailed. Other things come up that are important and I find myself constantly moving the time blocks or just having to ignore them and start over the next day.

Hello Carl! Your advise is needed as always :) emails never end and one hour per day is not enough it’s ping pong situation, I’m just going to use messaging apps instead to cut it:/
Also my trying out superhuman mail app but I’m confused if it’s worth it. Also using Notion but it seems not really different from simple reminders. I wonder what’s your thoughts on this and why your sticking to apple apps mainly. Appreciate your response :)

Yes calendar! I just went through and cleared all the to do off the cal and only nave appointments. Is this right?

I have never scheduled my life. It seems a bit scary, but maybe this is just the thing I need. iCalender here I come, lol! Thanks for sharing these tips. Its much appreciated!

You are a hero! I despise hustle culture. Excuse my strong language.

Isn't time management an outdated productivity system? For example, Carl Bailey - author of Productivity Project - discourages this approach, and proposes that managing energy and attention is a better strategy, given the constraints of modern day life. Would be interested to here your thoughts on this. Thanks. Charles

"Work is only 25% of your week"

me, a highschool student: sure

Thanks for the video! I do have 1 question: how do you get started with this if you already have appointments and commitments scheduled months in advance throughout various previous calendars (i.e. doctors appointments, meetings, travel, etc)? Part of me would like a clean start with this system, but I also worry that if I don't keep the other previous calendars that I will miss something months from now. Is there a way to merge all calendars into one? For reference I prefer to use Apple Calendar, but I also have 1 or 2 Google Calendars too. Thanks!!

I use a calendar...but my job is 45 hours and my teaching is 12 hours. I'm not sure how ppl only use 25% of their week for work and 75% for non-work, especially if you factor 8 hrs/day for sleep. The math doesn't work 😳

Thank you appreciate it 🥰

As always, a brilliant video, Carl! Thank you greatly! We must be reminded to go back to basics. We tend to schedule in our calendar all the work we must do and forget to make time for the just as important other aspects of our lives.

I live my life by the calendar. I’m surprised that there are not many task managers that integrates task & calendar together. That’s one of the reasons I use Sorted 3. So when life happens it automatically shifts my tasks to the appropriate time slot. It’s not perfect but it helps a lot.

Ya I’ll think I’ll start using it also!

We all understand that life is very changeable, and some events in the calendar are moving out or canceled for some reason.
How to strike a balance between flexibility and schedule? What do you do?

thank alot for this fantastic video . i have almost never used the calendar . but you made it look simple. promise , i'll start using it

I'm surprised by how many people don't use a calendar.
