Time blocking changed my life at work more than any other thing. I keep a Google Excel Sheet set up for two weeks at a time, broken out into 15 min increments. I’m more productive and better able to set expectations for incoming requests!
Also a big fan of listening to movie scores! Hans Zimmer is great. Drowns out the noise from an open office plan without the lyrics that distract my brain.

Great post! I can’t agree enough about e-mail. In fact a tip I read online was to delete e-mail completely from your phone. I find I check it far too much and too many things fall between the cracks. I haven’t done it yet but thinking about starting it next month!
One thing that helped me a lot is the Ivy Lee method: writing 6 things down a day that must get done in priority, no more, & you can’t move on to the next task until the one above it is done. It helped me not only lead my day with intention but gets everything done in a timely matter! If I have a big task that will take up the whole day, then the other 5 will be easier ones like SEO tune up or make a tweet! x Shannon • http://www.essellesse.com

I’ve been using time blocking too and the Pomodoro technique for those days that I really need to crank things out. At the start of each day, I also schedule out for myself how I’m going to spend each hour–even if I don’t keep to it exactly, it gives me a good target. I’m still working on checking my email less frequently. It can feel really challenging to step away when you’re in a work environment where the culture is to be responsive immediately.
