Elon Musk 'Time Bloxing' Technique

[Honeybadger]

This video from Thomas Frank (11:27) he describes how Elon Musk uses the Time Bloxing technique (aka 'Time Blocking' aka 'Time Boxing') to manage his day, taken from interviews (I haven't used the apps he talks about in video)

1. Estimate task duration (good for past timed tasks/templates)
   
2. Find time in calendar (5 minute time blocks)
   
3. Entire day is pre-scheduled

One way I changed this technique --> scheduled 1 task per hour, no matter if it takes 1 minute or full 60 minutes, this way I won't over plan at start & can deal with interruptions & unforeseen problems

Trial begins Monday, ends Feb 28

I use a variation of the Commie 5 year plan --get it done (goal) in 5 min, 5 hours, or 5 days.
this what i did all day so far --figured out how to factor the populations of US counties/USA

If I spent time filling out my own forms I would spend too much time filling out forms.
I hate forms like the Blues Bros hate the Illinois Nazis
