Sort of not getting the point of this? We have free time, we can split it into 10 minutes blocks, and I guess make good use of it?

So Arnold Schwarzenegger's book Be Useful (pretty fun to listen to the audiobook, of course 1/2 of the appeal is just the accent) also has this sort approach to time management. This seems like a potentially useful lens to see time cycles with, but it really seems to have value if you are fairly brutal with the application. After all, 10-minute blocks leave no time for screwing around! 20 minutes for boiled chicken! 30 minutes for a new language! 10 minutes responding to real estate investment offers!

Not how I choose to live my life, to be frank... And I def don't need hyper-optimization to avoid TikTok or Reels (Just never installed them and deleted accounts on some vampire platforms... That's all it took).

Deflating is the moment when Arnie's autobiography audio switches from his own voice to a random American-accent narrator. (After chapter 1 or so?)

I guess time-constrained celebrities are, or soon will be, using AI to read their books in full.

That's fair. It's helpful for me to break time into discrete 'blocks' because in my mind, it sets off more alarm bells to say "I wasted 4 blocks" rather than "I wasted 40 minutes". But otherwise, yeah. It's pretty standard "don't waste your time" advice when it comes down to it.
