Time-Blocking Method: Planning Time in Blocks

Time-blocking assigns specific calendar windows to specific tasks or work types, turning intentions into firm commitments like "Write proposal from 10:00 to 11:30".

A block can contain one complex task or a group of small administrative actions. The key is determining time usage in advance.

Schedule fixed meetings first, followed by deep work blocks, communication, and routine chores. Insert buffer windows between blocks.

Do not fragment your day into 5-minute increments. Complex work requires large blocks and ample buffers.

If your day changes, shift remaining blocks or reduce their scope. Time-blocking is a flexible visual guide, not a rigid contract.

AetherPlan allows dragging and resizing blocks in your calendar to keep your plan up to date.
