Time management is often a challenge for developers who juggle deep work, interruptions, bugs, and learning. Optimizing how you spend time can dramatically improve productivity and reduce burnout.

Tips for better time management:

1. Use Time Blocks for Deep Work
   • Schedule 1–2 hour blocks of focused, uninterrupted coding.
   • Silence notifications during this time.
2. Break Work into Small Tasks
   • Use Kanban boards (e.g., Trello, Jira) to manage tasks visually.
   • Apply the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes focus, 5-minute break).
3. Prioritize with the Eisenhower Matrix
   • Focus on important but non-urgent work to prevent last-minute stress.
4. Set Daily Goals
   • Start each day with 3 key objectives.
   • Review your goals at the end of the day for reflection.
5. Automate Repetitive Tasks
   • Create CLI scripts, templates, or snippets to speed up your workflow.
6. Limit Context Switching
   • Batch similar tasks together (code reviews, meetings, deployments).
7. Track Time
   • Use tools like Clockify or Toggl to discover where time is really spent.

Time management is about intent, not perfection. Developers who manage their energy and priorities well consistently produce better work—and avoid burnout.
