Great subject! I do this pretty often, and I find I get the most accomplished on those days.

A couple things I find important about this system. You don’t schedule away all 8 hours of the day. Always leave time (significant amount like 1/3 or more) at the end for the unexpected.

Another factor- I use the end of the day to schedule for the next day. This way when I leave work I don’t have to think about it again. And then, in the AM, when I am the most productive, I get the most accomplished.

Yes, that is an old thing to do, timetables.
I am going to try it out tonight, class till 17:30, so I could have finished my pizza at 18:30 and start working then. Alright, I will make a timetable, starting at 18:30!

Hi Glen,

This seems like a great idea for those that are determined, but every time I tried it,at first it would be ok but then I would just get bummed out from not enough relaxation Even as I was reading your timetable I felt you didn’t have any breaks! What about rest? Plus after a day or two I tend to ignore my timetables But for others that stick to it, it would be good

Back in the spring I got into the habit of timeblocking my day, then over the summer I let the habit slip away. I’m now back at it and wow, have my productivity and my down time fun taken leaps forward. When I’m working I’m not procrastinating so then later I can focus on fun without thinking about the stuff I haven’t gotten done.

I’m all for timetables! Good luck keeping it up.
