Frequently asked questions
A to-do list says WHAT to do, time blocking says WHEN to do it. Time blocking is more effective because it forces you to be realistic about available time and prevents procrastination.
Plan 6-8 hours maximum of productive work. The rest is for meals, transitions, unexpected events and rest. Being realistic is key.
That's normal. The schedule is a guide, not a contract. Adjust in real time and note what went off track to plan better next week.
