The Berkeley Method

The Berkeley Method is a time management approach developed by faculty at the University of California, Berkeley. It emphasizes setting specific, focused work sessions—called "blocks"—with scheduled breaks, to enhance concentration and productivity. By planning detailed daily schedules that allocate dedicated periods for work, study, and rest, it helps individuals prioritize tasks and reduce procrastination. The method encourages discipline through accountability and reflection, aiming to improve efficiency and overall performance while maintaining work-life balance.
