What is timeboxing?
Timeboxing is a time management technique where you set a fixed time limit for a task and focus on completing it within that time.
It helps you overcome procrastination, avoid spending too much time on tasks. Breaking work into smaller steps makes it easier to get started, focus on one task at a time, and improve future time estimates through practice.
Flexible yet structured, timeboxing helps you make progress without being tied to a rigid schedule.
Quick Start
- Add actionable tasks on the main or 'Plan' screen and decide what to work on today.
- Enable timebox from the three dots button, then start the task timer to focus; you can also utilize Picture-in-Picture mode.
