How Does Single Elimination Tournament Bracket Work?
I will explain how a single-elimination tournament works. Below is an example of a single-elimination bracket for 8 teams.

Falcon (Win) ┘In the example above, Thunder Hawks face Black Stallions. If Thunder Hawks win, they advance to the next round, and Black Stallions are immediately eliminated. In a single-elimination format, losing a match means you are out of the tournament.
There are also four teams that advance directly to the semifinals, and in the final round, the two remaining teams compete to determine the champion.
Blind Draw VS Seeded
Time Blocking Method:
Assign specific time blocks to tasks instead of just listing them. This creates accountability and helps you estimate task duration more accurately.
The 2-Minute Rule:
If a task takes less than 2 minutes, do it immediately rather than writing it down. This prevents small tasks from cluttering your planner.
Energy Management:
Schedule demanding tasks during your peak energy hours. Use your weekly planner to identify patterns in your energy levels throughout the week.
Weekly Themes:
Assign themes to different days (e.g., meetings on Tuesday, creative work on Wednesday) to batch similar activities and reduce context switching.
