Time blockers give every minute of their day a job…
The Time-Block Planner is easy to use. Each day you fill out a time block grid with a preliminary plan that gives every minute a job. If you get knocked off this schedule, you simply update it the next time you get a chance. Next to the grid is a collection page on which you can quickly capture tasks and notes to process later so that you don’t have to disrupt your current time block. And that’s all there is to it!
For fifteen years, author and professor Cal Newport has been extolling the benefits of time blocking. Now for the first time, this system has been captured in a daily planner that makes it easy for anyone to implement these ideas in their own professional life.
You already know what work really matters. The Time-Block Planner will help you push aside distractions and other peoples’ demands for your time, and focus on accomplishing more of these deep efforts than you ever thought possible.
Cal is an MIT-trained computer science professor at Georgetown University who also writes about the intersections of technology, work, and the quest to find depth in an increasingly distracted world. He’s the author of seven books, including, most recently, the bestsellers Deep Work, Digital Minimalism, and A World Without Email. He’s been a zealous advocate for time-block planning for over a decade. LEARN MORE.
