20        It not only makes your to-do list more manageable, but also it gives you more control over your day and helps you prioritize your tasks. It also improves your focus and helps ge id of procrastination(拖延症),as it allows you to focus on one project at a time.

1. So what is it exactly?
2. Is everyone interested in it?

C. I used to be in the same boat.

D. The benefits of Time Blocking are substantial.

E.Let's further explain the concept in another way
