Each of us have goals that we want to achieve. But often we do something to prevent: the circumstances of life, household affairs, child care, work issues. However, even if you have a busy schedule, there is a way to achieve more. It is called the "time blocks", and only need a calendar for it on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Blocks of time - it is a method of organizing time at which you pre-allocate certain hours on some important objectives. And these intervals are not doing anything else. Generally.
This may seem obvious and useless: you every day, and so devote time some things, why should I turn it into a ritual? The thing is that the use of temporary units exclude from the process of self-organization factors such as forgetfulness and absentmindedness.

Life of modern man is very saturated, and forget about the assigned tasks very easily. Using blocks of time, you save yourself from having to remember everything. All cases are listed in the calendar, and to understand what to do next, just open the app you need.
In addition, the time blocks to help prioritize targets. Instead of the whole day wasted on various little things, you concentrate on those things, which themselves have chosen. All the less important tasks remain for later. Will no longer be situations where you were going to do some project, but suddenly remembered that it was necessary to go to the store, and after decided to prepare a meal, then we got an important letter... As a result, spent the day in the short-term concerns, and not approaching goals.
