You life is not complicated you are unorganized

Juan Emilio on July 11, 2024

Hey 👋 I'm Juan, and today I want to share something that happened to me this week. Recently, I started working in a new place, I moved, I’m working...

No le pares a los comentarios, la mayoria de los gringos se la pasan hablando de timeboxing. Es el consejo universal gringo para organizar tu dia. No mata a nadie y menos a los ansiosos (yo que soy ansiosa no me he muerto todavia por tener mi google calendar todo bloqueado y con bloques de "tomar cafe", "jugar con mis perritos" o "jugar videojuegos").

Si hubieras hecho el post en español seguro sale alguien diciendote "tu puedes hacer esto porque no tienes hijos! tu no sabes lo que es tener una vida tan dificil como la mia" porque ya lo viiii en un video en youtube sobre este tema en español jajajaja

Asi que rela. Todo el mundo es un critico.

Lo que si puedo decir, como alguien que usa tu metodo, es que hay que hacer un shift de mindset: esto es planificar el dia, no es que tu dia tenga que ajuro ser asi porque tu no sabes que pueda suceder. Mas bien, puedes mover tus bloques o inclusive... ignorarlos! 😂 y asi? cero stress mi pana ~(Uw U

Ojala puedas irte de paseo por Argentina pronto! Siempre es refrescante y desestresante pasear y conocer :3

Saludeishons! ~

JAJAJ, tal cual. Además, estuve investigando y entre los inmensos beneficios del "time-boxing" están reducir el estrés, reducir la ansiedad, evitar el burn-out y reducir la procrastinación. Muchas gracias por tu motivación, realmente lo aprecio.

Timeboxing doesn’t work for people prone to anxiety, such stuff kills them. And even in simpler cases: I’m pretty sure it’s not very scalable and will exhaust a person in a long run.

But yeah, it’s probably the best (and the only?) way to be 100% productive. If that’s the goal 😉

Agree with that... I used to fill up my calendar like that. If I miss one thing off my calendar then damage control kicks in... I start shifting and shuffling around other tasks to accommodate uncompleted ones... and then eventually end up with regrets of not completing things on time...

maybe I am just not as good at time estimation or time management as others.

I complete understand, maybe something that I forgo to mention on the post is that we shouldn't feel bad because we couldn't complete all the tasks of the day. For example this last days I've been sick and my productivity went down, that's fine, I'm sick. The idea is having a road-map that help us keeping track of what we are doing and what we need to do, that way we don't waste energy having to think about this every time. Thanks for sharing your opinion; I consider it really interesting.

Nah, that’s a common scenario I believe 😅 this damage control thingy is something I even tried to take care of using some kind of a system and calendar automations… But the truth is, it just makes it too complicated and the goal of time management is to simplify the whole thing to have consistent and calm control and do more with less efforts.

Wow I didn't know that. Here I'm talking from my personal experience and the only thing I found to calm me is knowing what to do and when to do it. Thanks for your comment

I've doing it for years and I can ensure that I feel more exhausted and stressed out when I don't do it

I see that many of you feel more anxious knowing what you have to do. The question that pop-ups on my mind from this is: Maybe that's yourself telling you that you aren't doing what you have to do or maybe your previous decisions are forcing you to do things that you don't want. Either way, isn't that ok? It's your conscious guiding you. Why fight against it?

Thanks for sharing your process, very insightful. It's interesting how different we can be. I know for me having everything in my calendar as blocks stresses me out.

Jajaja. I guess what stresses me out is not knowing what I have to do because then is when my mind starts to tell me that I'm doing nothing and that there are things that require my attention. Thanks for reading and sharing your opinion; I really appreciate it.
