We think we solve distraction problems by trying to get more done each minute. The real problem is more often not giving ourselves time to do what we say we will. One of the most effective ways to do what we say we will is through timeboxing. Timeboxing is planning what you’re going to do and when you’re going to do it. The goal of timeboxing is to eliminate empty spaces in your schedule and plan your days. Timeboxing helps you know what is traction and distraction for every minute of your day. A successful timeboxed schedule is less about what you’re doing and more about whether you’re doing what you planned. If you’re spending your time doing the things you intended to, you’re experiencing traction. If you’re spending your time doing things you didn’t intend to, you’re experiencing distraction.
