time blocking
Segmented schedule strategy
Time blocking is a scheduling method where you assign specific tasks to fixed periods on your calendar rather than working from a to-do list.
Instead of hoping to find time for important work, you reserve it: I time block my mornings for deep work.
The technique treats time as territory to be claimed and defended against interruptions.
