The 3-Block Day Reset
Quick win: Split your day into three blocks—Morning, Midday, Afternoon. Give each block a single “headline task,” start with a 10-minute plan, then run one or two 50/10 focus sprints. When the block ends, wrap in two minutes and move on. It’s a fresh start, three times a day.
Why it works: Fewer, bigger chunks reduce context switching and decision fatigue. A hard edge at the end of each block
creates urgency (Parkinson’s Law) and makes it easy to reset after interruptions.
Try it today
- Sketch three boxes. Paper or notes app is fine: Morning / Midday / Afternoon.
- Pick one headline task per block. If everything is important, nothing is. Choose the one thing you’ll be proud to finish.
- Start a 50-minute timer. Silence notifications, open only one doc/tab, and put your phone out of reach.
- Take a 10-minute break. Stretch, water, or quick admin. Avoid doom-scrolling.
- Wrap in two minutes. Log what you finished and write the very next step for tomorrow.
Pro move
Create calendar holds for the three blocks on weekdays. Add a single “Restart” sticky note on your desk: “New block, new chance.” Any time a block derails, read it and begin again.
