How it works
A flat to-do list pretends every task is the same size and the day is infinite. Time blocking forces the harder, more honest question: when, exactly, does this happen? This template walks you through a weekly plan that reserves deep-work sessions, batches admin, leaves buffer for overruns, and ends with a Friday review of planned versus actual. Run it every Monday morning, before the week runs you.
