What is it?
Time Blocking is a productivity tool that helps you cross tasks off the to-do list and finally, get things done. By dedicating specific hours to specific tasks, you create structure and allow yourself to focus on completing tasks in a set amount of time.
It’s supposed to be a constructive tool to improve your time management skills. So I wanted to free myself from my long task lists and traditional planner, and instead give Time Blocking a try.
How do I spend my time?
Using a free printable from Hey Donna I tracked where my hours go in a typical week. Between my two jobs, I have little other time left in a week.

- Orange is time I spend sleeping
- Blue is time I spend getting ready, either for work, the week ahead or just showering.
- Green is time I try to dedicate to spending on the blog.
- Purple is time I spend eating or cooking.
- Red is time I spend socialising or at least hanging out with another person even if we're being unsociable.
