    Make a schedule that displays the hours you want to work on a task. Split the hours into blocks of time no less than thirty minutes, draw these blocks around the time you're dividing, and select the activity you want to designate to a specific block. If you want to use three hours to article writing, for example, box those three hours on your schedule and label them. Include blocks dedicated for lunch breaks and leisure on your schedule, so you won't feel too stressed checking them off throughout the day. In order to work seamlessly, prepare blocks of similar things together in a single, large block. For example, rather than creating a block for answering particular emails only, create a larger one for answering all your received emails.
