From the bestselling author of Deep Work and Digital Minimalism comes a
daily planner that deploys the power of time blocking to help you focus
on what's important in an increasingly distracted world.
Time blocking is a time management method long used by some of the
world's most effective people, from Elon Musk to Bill Gates, and
promoted by some of the smartest thinkers in productivity, from Peter
Drucker to Benjamin Franklin. Its core idea is that a task list is not
enough to make the most of your limited time. You should instead
partition your working hours into blocks assigned to specific
activities. In doing so, you can more easily protect hours for deep
work, while batching shallow tasks into efficient sprints. The clarity
of these blocks also encourages you to focus intensely on one thing at
a time, resisting the distracting allure of inboxes, social media, and
idle web surfing.
For fifteen years, author 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.
The Time-Block Planner opens with an introduction from Newport to guide
you through the basics of effective time blocking. Ninety days' worth
of time-blocking pages follow, each divided into a grid that simplifies
both building daily schedules and easily updating them as circumstances
change. Weekly planning pages supplement the daily planning pages, each
including a big idea about productivity from Newport, inspiring you to
think deeply about the week ahead. A "shutdown" box sits at the top of
each page so you can physically and psychologically end your workday
with a check of the box--a ritual widely employed by many of Newport's
longtime readers.
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.
