This kind of system gives me structure and focus and I allocate time with events based on the goals I have set. The link also goes over some nice tools I use to automate distraction as I have most ‘news feed’ like websites blocked (front pages of And only have few times I can actually visit those sites with goals of intentionally viewing them and not out of a habit. I am curious what systems & methods you guys found that work well for you to achieve this goal of being more mindful of your time and the things you truly want to be doing in life?
