Calendar scheduling works well for certain personalities.
I personally hate it and it works horribly for me.
But for a long time it was the only answer I was aware of and articles like these that pass the methodology off without mentioning other possible ones only reinforced the incorrect ideas that this was THE way.
Many people prefer to do lists, because that is priority rather than time based.
Also, calendaring everything is such future-self-micromanaging that I feel it, for me, to be deeply disconnecting.
I prefer to stack my priorities and work at whatever is most important.
It is more effective than strictly efficient tho of course it's both.
I do think productivity writers need a better sense of others, often.
