Do you have a list of priorities or goals that you want to achieve this year? And do you struggle with allocating time to them? Time blocking might be helpful.

It certainly helped me. Look, I’m not any different from you. Life can be messy. Most of us juggle a lot of different things at the same time. Even though the simple solution is to stop juggling, it’s not always realistic. Or even needed.

What if you could do more things without losing your time? It’s possible. But you must work in an organized way.

Time Blocking a simple productivity exercise that many people use. It’s not fancy or revolutionary. The only thing you need is a calendar, which is something everyone with a smartphone and computer has.

Many things in life always sound better in theory.

  • “I’m going to save my money, buy real estate, and live off the rent money.”
  • “I’m going to start a blog, sell courses, and live off the passive income.”

In an ideal world, people would treat others with respect, patience, and kindness. I think that’s what we’re meant to do as humans beings.

Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 til 180, and once the most powerful man on earth, said it best:

“In a sense, people are our proper occupation. Our job is to do them good and put up with them.”

But in real life, things are a bit different. Most of us face bullies, backstabbers, and arses who don’t respect others on a daily basis. In other words: Assholes are everywhere.

But Robert Sutton, author of The Asshole Survival Guide, is committed to change that.
