How it works
Three steps. No learning curve.
01
Name your blocks
In the morning, split your day into named chunks — “Deep Work”, “Emails”, “Gym”. Give each a length. That’s the whole plan.
02
Focus on one
Start the timer on the current block and do only that until it rings. Short Pomodoro-style sprints keep it sustainable.
03
See the truth
At day’s end, TimeBlocks shows planned vs. actual for every block. You’ll see exactly where the day really went.
The method, in plain words
Two simple ideas that work.
Time blocking
Instead of a to-do list that never ends, you assign every hour a job. When 10:00 says “Writing”, you write. Decisions are made once, in the morning — not fifty times during the day.
Pomodoro
Work in short, timed sprints — usually 25 minutes — then take a real break. A ticking timer makes starting easy, and breaks keep your brain sharp for the next sprint.
Daily report
Planned vs. actual, every evening.
TimeBlocks logs what you planned against what you actually did — per block, per day. Over weeks, the pattern is undeniable: you’ll spot the hours that quietly disappear.
| Block | Planned | Actual |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Work | 90m | 82m |
| Writing | 60m | 64m |
| Meetings | 30m | 47m |
| Emails | 30m | 18m |
