You are someone who does a great deal of time blocking in your calendar. You follow the best practice and don’t try to schedule big complex tasks – instead, you schedule their sub-tasks. But how do you deal with tasks whose complexity is hidden? In other words, it contains far more sub-tasks than you imagined. When you come upon them, a 4-hour task can take 20 hours! Is there anything you can do? Tune into this episode to hear from me and my special guest, Trevor Lohrbeer, we tackle this wicked productivity problem together.
