What is “time blocking?”

Time blocking is a time management method that involves organizing one's schedule into defined segments (blocks) for each set of tasks. Although commonly used in the workplace, this technique can be effectively applied to managing household tasks.

How to apply “time blocking at home?”

1. Make a detailed list of all household and family chores for a typical week.
2. Group small tasks into larger categories (e.g. laundry, meal prep).
3. Create a visual time schedule, assigning a color to each major category of tasks.
4. Integrate these task blocks into a schedule, taking into account:
- From the usual working hours
- “Non-negotiables” (important personal activities, medical appointments, etc.)

Why is time blocking effective?

1. It allows you to focus on one task at a time without interruption.
2. It helps to avoid constant multitasking.
3. It offers some flexibility to adapt time blocks according to personal activities.
