  2. Identify your available hours to schedule tasks, around meetings, classes, etc.
  3. Grab a task on your to-do list and drag it onto the calendar at any given time. Repeat!
  4. Review your time blocked work schedule, and begin
  5. Check off tasks as they’re completed. Watch your to-do list dwindle down 💯
