Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a weekly planning session take?

A focused weekly planning session using time-boxing should take 30–60 minutes. Use Sunday evening or Monday morning to review the previous week and schedule the next.

How many tasks should I time-box per day?

Aim for 3–5 major time-boxed tasks per day. Overscheduling leads to burnout. Leave buffer blocks between tasks to handle unexpected interruptions.

What happens if I don't finish a time-boxed task?

When a time box ends, evaluate the task. If it needs more time, reschedule it. The constraint itself is valuable—it forces prioritization and honest effort estimation.
