More people than ever are free to manage their time the best way they see fit. They’ve ditched the 9 to 5 in favor of freelance or entrepreneurship, untethered themselves from the school calendar in favor of homeschooling, or simply found themselves enjoying flexibility with a work-from-home arrangement.

As they say, with great freedom comes great responsibility. While this freedom is wonderful, it also poses unique challenges. When you can do whatever you want, everything you could possibly do seems to race to the forefront of your mind, leading to overwhelm and stress. One simple strategy I’ve found to tame the overwhelm and ensure I’m getting around to all that I should is the block schedule.
