I Planned My Week Backwards—And These 7 Unexpected Productivity Hacks Transformed Everything
When I planned my week in the traditional way, these disruptions would throw me off balance. I’d often feel like I was constantly playing catch-up, which led to stress and frustration.
But planning my week backwards introduced a new level of flexibility to my schedule. Since I was working towards a deadline, rather than starting at a specific time, I could adjust my tasks as needed without feeling like I was falling behind.
If a meeting ran over, I could shift a task to later in the day or even to another day entirely. If an unexpected task arose, I could assess its urgency and importance and slot it into my schedule where it made the most sense.
