![]() Time blocking forces you to confront your current priorities and commitments and get intentional about how you spend your finite time. We are terrible at estimating how much time tasks will take, and we have a tendency to overcommit our future selves. It makes you aware of how you spend your time The more you “single task”, the more you build the mental muscles required for deep work, and the easier it becomes to stay focused. When you schedule a chunk of time to work on a single project, problem, or task, you bring all of your mental resources to bear on one thing rather than spreading your attention thin across several tasks. A 40 hour time-blocked work week, I estimate, produces the same amount of output as a 60+ hour work week pursued without structure.” My answer is simple: it generates a massive amount of productivity. “Sometimes people ask why I bother with such a detailed level of planning. He dedicates 20 minutes every evening to scheduling out the next work day: This technique seems simple on the surface, but has profound impacts on your capacity to get things done: It promotes focused “deep work”Ĭal Newport, author of Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World, is a big proponent of time blocking. It can be a fun way to challenge yourself and gamify your productivity. This self-imposed "time box" forces you to work efficiently because you have a limited amount of time in which to complete the task. Here's a time boxed version of the time blocking example above: "I will finish a first draft of my blog post tomorrow between 9am and 11am." In contrast, time boxing asks you to limit how much time you'll dedicate to a specific task. For example, "I will work on a first draft of my blog post from 9am to 11 am tomorrow." Time blocking asks you to set aside certain chunks of time to focus on a given task or activity. Time blocking and time boxing are often confused as being synonymous, but there's an important difference. As a result, I have less decision fatigue and even have more energy when I spend time with my kids.” Time boxing “Knowing what the day ‘means’ to me allows me to get the things I need and want to accomplish without seeing undetermined ‘ought to do’ items on a to do list. Vardy explains that theming offers mental clarity that allows him to focus on his family: If you get off-task or distracted, simply look at your schedule and get back to whichever task you blocked off time for.ĭedicating each day to a single theme creates a reliable work pattern and further limits the cognitive load of context switching. All you need to do is follow your time blocked schedule. With days that are time blocked in advance, you won’t have to constantly make choices about what to focus on. At the end of every workday, review any tasks you didn’t finish - as well as any new tasks that have come in - and adjust your time blocks for the rest of the week accordingly. Take stock of what’s coming up for the week ahead, and make a rough sketch of your time blocks for each day. The key to this method is prioritizing your task list in advance - a dedicated weekly review is a must. Instead of keeping an open-ended to-do list of things you’ll get to as you can, you’ll start each day with a concrete schedule outlining what you’ll work on and when. Each block is dedicated to accomplishing a specific task or group of tasks, and only those specific tasks. ![]() Time blocking is a time management method that asks you to divide your day into blocks of time. This guide will give you an overview of what time blocking, task batching, and day theming are how a combination of these strategies can help you reclaim your schedule, and the best way to use your calendar and task manager to start time blocking yourself. Struggle to find the time and mental space for big-picture thinking Spend too much time in “reactive mode,” responding to emails and messagesīattle constant interruptions throughout the day Juggle many different projects/responsibilities (Jack Dorsey used day theming to run two major companies at the same time) Time blocking (and its close cousins, time boxing, task batching, and day theming) is a simple yet effective way to take back control of your time. How do you balance the necessary evils of meetings, email, team chat, and "busy work" with focused time for the things you truly care about? Since becoming a digital hermit isn’t an option for most of us, we need concrete strategies to help us focus in a world designed to distract us. If there's one thing that can be said about the modern workplace, it's this: If you don't control your schedule, it will control you. "A 40 hour time-blocked work week, I estimate, produces the same amount of output as a 60+ hour work week pursued without structure."

![]() Do that the first time, but after you've done that once, just make copies of the loop region. It sounds like you're dragging a loop from the loop browser and dropping it into the open workspace area, which creates a new track. Help is still very very welcome! Thanks in advance! :D I just want to be able to paste a copy after the orginal, within the same track. So extending the length with 16 measures, would mean 8 new tracks. Meaning that everytime I want to extend the length of the loop by two measures, a new track is created. If I have a loop of 2 measures, everytime I paste the copy after the original, a new track with a copied loop is created. How can I paste the copy of a loop track after the original loop, without automatically creating a new track for the loop that I want to paste? How to extend the length of a particular audiotrack in a region with the keyboard? This is simple to do with the mouse, but I use VO and can't see the screen or mouse cursor.Ģ.

So, with Voice-Over and using the keyboard: But I want this specific loop to stay on one track and not get a new track for every time I paste it. However, then a new track is created with the second loop starting after the first one. I've also tried pasting the same loop after the first one. Working with the 'move the right end'-option and then clicking and dragging with the trackpad, doesn't work either. However, this doesn't seem to work with the keyboard. I've tried to drag the right end of the track to the right, so it would get longer. I want to extend the length of my tracks, such as a loop with only two measures. When I copy and paste a loop (from the Apple loop browser) into the project, it's often only two measures long.

Motorists may proceed through the tolls by stopping to pay at each collection point or with an electronic transponder called an I-Pass which allows vehicles to move through each point without stopping.

When such situations, we scan the server for health or security issues. Pro Tip : A damaged quota table indicates a more serious underlying problem such as a failing hard disk. Re-enable quota for the affected partition.Recreate the quota table using the “quotacheck” command (or fixquota in cPanel servers).Stop services such as mail, web and FTP that can write new files.Disable quota for the affected partition (usually /home in web hosting servers).When we see a sudden surge in mail or web quota errors for many users at once, we immediately check the quota table. In some situations, such as a server crash or hard disk errors, these files could get corrupted, leading to many users getting quota related errors. Linux servers store quota information in files such as er, oup. We’ve been able to reduce the incidence of such downtime in web hosting companies by sending “Disk Quota Warning” emails with specific steps on what to check, and how to delete excess files. In heavily loaded or less powerful servers, we educate the users via custom tool tips in the panel that the correct value will be reflected in 15 mins.ĭisk space overage results in customers losing their business mails, or websites being down.In powerful servers, we disable this cache (choose off), as server load isn’t affected.To fix this, our tech support team uses two approaches: cPanel stores disk usage info for 15-30 mins, to reduce disk access, and thereby keep down server load. It is caused by a cPanel feature called “disk quota cache”. That is, even if a 1 GB file is deleted, the space usage doesn’t show any difference. In cPanel servers, even after a disk quota exceeded error is resolved, the web panel shows the old disk space info. So, if you’re a shared web host, increase the quota by 100 MB temporarily so that services to the user is immediately restored. Business mails coming in during this period will bounce. Pro Tip : All this detective work takes time. We resolve this issue by searching the whole file system with the username, deleting them, and then updating the quota table. We’ve found such files in /usr, /var, / or in some cases even in /root directory. This could be from past troubleshooting steps, incomplete site restore, etc. In self-managed VPS servers, we’ve found user files stored outside the user’s home directory. ![]() Special case – User’s files located outside home directory ![]() Once we’ve found the top directories, we drill down until we locate all non-essential files. That is why we use Linux command line tools (such as du) to list all directories in a user’s account, and sort them as per size. It’s not easy to find these space files if you look at a web panel report. Old uncompressed backups (from a previous site restore for eg.).But there are other locations that are not so obvious: In many cases, we’ve found large files (such as backup, videos, DB dumps, etc.) in the user’s home directory itself. Fixing mail/web space overageĪbout 80% of disk quota exceeded errors occur due to users uploading files beyond their subscription limit.

Don’t snub either a Qualcomm Snapdragon or Mediatek Arm chip, either. Unlike a laptop, you should worry less about the processor: An Intel Core chip guarantees solid performance, but Celerons are much more common. We try to highlight more eye-pleasing 1080p screens, but smaller Chromebooks may look just fine with an older screen instead. We have a more detailed comparison of laptops versus Chromebooks, too.ĭiscounted Chromebooks used to cut corners, like using 768p screens. Our story recommending Chromebooks over Windows laptops may help you decide, as might our recommendations for the best Chromebooks. The latter are essentially PC laptops with Google’s Chrome OS on top, and might be too expensive for your tastes. Generally, Chromebooks tend to fall into three categories: ultracheap models at about $100, which can offer solid discounts but can hide gotchas like a subpar screen midrange $200 to $350 Chromebooks, the typical price point and premium Chromebooks at $500 and above. What to think about when buying a Chromebook A 13th-gen Core i5 is a rare thing to find inside of a Chromebook! And don’t worry about Arm processors like the Snapdragon. I’m just not seeing those Chromebooks on sale right now, which is why I’ve opted to push you to the Acer Chromebooks (the Spin 513 or the Spin 714). Those can be worth it, as good hardware is suited for a variety of tasks. The Chromebook makers would prefer you buy the higher-priced gaming Chromebooks. That’s a good price for that particular hardware combination, but some people prefer lower prices. I’d much prefer you buy the HP Chromebooks we’ve listed, but that 768p display is a little iffy, and the Core i3 model is basically $300. The next three entries (the Samsing, Asus, and Acer Chromebook 315) satisfy that requirement. I do encourage users to pick Chromebooks with large, viewable screens. While 4GB of RAM isn’t great, that’s a massive sale, and at that $200 threshold we consider a steal. We’ve also bumped up the second deal on the list - the Acer Chromebook 315 - because of a big last-minute sale. (I’m looking for at least three out of four requirements: a good discount, a (relatively) modern processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 1080p screen.) We’re hadn’t seen the perfect October Prime Day Chromebook sale before now, but now we have one to recommend: the Lenovo 3i is the ideal mix of hardware - but the discount isn’t extravagant, just 15 percent off. Acer Chromebook Spin 513, Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c/8GB RAM/64GB SSD, 13.3-inch 1080p display, $384.00 (17% off at Amazon).Best early October Prime Day Chromebook deals Virtually all of these deal are limited to those who sign up for Amazon Prime (which you can do for free). |
