Time blocking

Time blocking means planning your day as blocks: each task gets its own slot of time, placed around what is already fixed. List your tasks with how long each takes, most important first, and add your meetings or other fixed events. The planner puts each task into the first free gap that fits it and prints the day as a grid.

Your day
Tasks, most important first

How long each one takes. The first task gets the first gap that fits it.

Fixed events (optional)

Things already at a set time, like a meeting or a school pickup. Tasks go around them.

    A break after each task

    How the planner places your blocks

    Fixed events first

    Fixed events keep their times, and tasks go around them. Two fixed events that overlap give no plan: change one so they don't share time.

    Tasks in your order

    The planner walks the day from your start hour. Your first task goes into the first free gap long enough for it and the break you picked; then the second task, and so on. A task is never split in two.

    “Doesn't fit today”

    A task that fits no gap goes on the “Doesn't fit today” list, and the tasks after it still get their turn, so a short task can still fill a small gap. The list is the honest part of the plan: shorten a task, pick a smaller break or move it to another day.

    Breaks between blocks

    The break (none, 5 or 10 minutes) is kept free after every task, so one block can run a little long without moving the rest.

    What happens to what you type

    Your tasks and events stay in this browser and are never saved or sent. Print the day once it looks right.
