What Is Time Blocking?
Time blocking is a productivity method where you divide your day into dedicated chunks for specific tasks. Unlike a simple to-do list, you assign specific timeframes to each activity, which helps you:
- Prioritize important work during peak productivity hours
- Minimize distractions and context-switching
- Visualize how you're spending your time
- Create consistent routines and build better habits
How to Use Time Blocking Templates
- Choose your template (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- List your priorities and identify important tasks
- Schedule high-focus work during your most productive hours
- Add effort-intensive activities like exercise or deep work
- Include breaks and buffer time between tasks
- Color-code activities to create a visual schedule that's easy to follow
