What is a time blocking planner?
A time blocking planner is a planning system where you:
- decide what matters most,
- assign it a start and end time,
- and follow the plan (while staying flexible when life happens).
Why Align works well as a time blocking planner
Align is designed around a visual timeline so you can see your full day at a glance:
- Visual timeline to plan your day in time blocks (not just lists).
- Calendar sync so your meetings and commitments are part of the same plan.
- Recurring time blocks to build routines without re-creating tasks.
- Notifications so you know when it’s time to start.
- Overlap avoidance to prevent double-booking your day.
- Sync across devices (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) with iCloud.
How to start time blocking (quick steps)
- Add your fixed commitments (meetings, appointments).
- Block time for your most important tasks.
- Add buffers for transitions and the unexpected.
- Review once mid-day and adjust your blocks as needed.
