In this engaging episode of "3 Minutes Max," Andre Ottlik and Jules delve into the productivity technique of timeboxing and how it can enhance your focus and quality of work in the Age of AI. Andre emphasizes that timeboxing is not scientifically proven to double productivity but highlights its benefits in reducing stress and boosting motivation. Jules adds that artificial time pressure can help you concentrate better by shielding you from distractions and promoting deep work.

The episode offers two actionable tips to incorporate timeboxing into your routine. First, Andre suggests creating a handwritten to-do list in the morning and afternoon—a simple practice that helps harness focus until noon or evening. While assigning specific time units to tasks isn't crucial, the presence of a time block enhances concentration.

For a more structured approach to meetings, Jules recommends Tip 2: develop a digital meeting protocol template. This involves creating an agenda with time boxes for each item and adding a 'Next Steps' section with deadlines. This framework naturally guides discussions, reducing digressions and ensuring clear takeaways.
