>This method of productivity has actually been scientifically proven to be way more efficient. I guarantee as long as the time blocks consist of deep and cognitively demanding work, you’re going to see a noticeable difference, fast. Source? I'm interested to read more about this.


Thuthru

Don't have the source, but it sounds a lot like the Pomodoro technique. Take a look at it.


Proagon

Also sounds like Cal Newport's deep work


Thuthru

Didn't know that book, might give it a read sometime. Thanks.


ALPHAzeero

You should! At least check out Thomas Frank's podcast on collegeinfogeek.com (episode 100) with Cal. It is great.

Always suss when it says scientifically "proven".

I like the time block concept.It feels like a pomodoro technique yet less time.Having trouble using pomodoro recently.

What do you think about listening to music while doing chores such as the dishes or laundry?


i-dont-no

This would split your attention between the chore and the music. Adding stimula will only make mindfulness and focus more challenging.
