To optimize, prioritize tasks, set realistic time frames, and allow for breaks. Regularly review and adjust your schedule to improve effectiveness.

Unrelated but how is Akiflow $34 a month for a manual time planner where you can't even plan the same task across multiple days? Morgen has this on their free tier, wtf.

[@keepproductive]

They've very much priced like Motion now. Most of the daily planner apps are now between $16-$20 for annual billing (Akiflow too).

[@BigSaaSsolutions]

That was a very useful video. I really needed that training advice. Keep up the good work on your channel.

[@keepproductive]

Glad it helped, tried to pack it with as much.

[@faizyvlogs23]

Great info .. thank you

[@martinwroe6319]

That was very useful. Would be great to see a list of what you should time block for.

[@missambrarossetti]

Awesome tips! Easy to understand and improved my time management significantly! Thank you!
Just a sidenote- the background music was a bit distracting

[@gavindavies4231]

H Francesco, have followed you for a long time great work. great video. Would it be possible to do one on how to use time blocking on the new notion calendar from setup to implementation?

[@MatthewReidFilms]

Great video! Very helpful tips

[@keepproductive]

Thank you 🙏

[@charlesbonfante9188]

Background elevator music is a little nuts... Love akiflow... apart from the fact that the Todoist integration is broken.

[@keepproductive]

Sorry, I'm still optimizing - this is a good point. Thanks.

[@indesigntipstrickandtutori6292]

I did like the tips. Thanks !!! But the music could be less loud. 🙂. It is kinda distracting.

[@keepproductive]

Noted. Thanks - helpful!

[@blindsniper141]

Yeah. It is a little distracting.

[@DrMoustafaYousri]

great video.. but the music in the background is a bit loud

[@derekkelly485]

Did you do a full video on Reclaim yet?

[@keepproductive]

Coming next week.

[@derekkelly485]
