Timeblocking (or time blocking) or time chunking[1] is a productivity technique for personal time management where a period of time—typically a day or week—is divided into smaller segments or blocks for specific tasks or to-dos. It integrates the function of a calendar with that of a to-do list. It is a kind of scheduling.[1]

When done properly, timeblocking can help eliminate distractions and discourage unproductive multitasking.[1][2][3]
