Summary
How do highly-successful people like Elon Musk and Bill Gates get so much done？ The answer is time blocking; a time-management method that Cal Newport， productivity expert and bestselling author of Digital Minimalism， has been using for fifteen years。
For the first time， this game-changing system has been captured in a daily planner that makes it easy for you to prioritise tasks and focus on the things that really matter。 Using the time-block method you'll no longer be distracted by your inbox， social media and other peoples' demands for your time。 The Time-Block Planner will help you push aside distractions and focus on the work that will make the difference to you。

I'm new to time-blocking and have found Cal's Time-Block Planner to be transformational in my day-to-day workload organisation。The book offers 20 pages of time-blocking theory and preamble， followed by space for 13 weeks of daily planning。 I've really enjoyed having it as a dedicated space for my thoughts， tasks and ideas。 However it is quite expensive and I'm yet to decide how I will move forward with my own time-blocking practice。If you want to get more done and often feel overwhelmed with to- I'm new to time-blocking and have found Cal's Time-Block Planner to be transformational in my day-to-day workload organisation。The book offers 20 pages of time-blocking theory and preamble， followed by space for 13 weeks of daily planning。 I've really enjoyed having it as a dedicated space for my thoughts， tasks and ideas。 However it is quite expensive and I'm yet to decide how I will move forward with my own time-blocking practice。If you want to get more done and often feel overwhelmed with to-do lists scattered all over the place， this is the planner that will help you reclaim your schedule。 。。。more

This is not a template planner laid out for you to fill in but a book with the tools needed to practice the time blocking system in your daily life for 13 weeks。Its core idea is that you should instead partition your working hours into blocks assigned to specific activities rather than crossing things off a task list in what feels like a very short 24hours in a day。 Thanks to this book， I did more research to learn more about time-block planner。 I began to prepare my bullet journal differently f This is not a template planner laid out for you to fill in but a book with the tools needed to practice the time blocking system in your daily life for 13 weeks。Its core idea is that you should instead partition your working hours into blocks assigned to specific activities rather than crossing things off a task list in what feels like a very short 24hours in a day。 Thanks to this book， I did more research to learn more about time-block planner。 I began to prepare my bullet journal differently for 2021 （and bought a few cute stuff online for my planner -collateral damage you see 🤣） 。。。more

I like the format of this planner but the book itself is shitty。 It needs to lay flat， the paper could be better， and the size is wrong。 Cal needs to look at the design of the Standard Issue Notebook 03， or the Lechturrum notebooks。 I'd gladly pay more for a better notebook！https://designworksink。com/products/5。。。https://www。leuchtturm1917。us/muted-c。。。 I like the format of this planner but the book itself is shitty。 It needs to lay flat， the paper could be better， and the size is wrong。 Cal needs to look at the design of the Standard Issue Notebook 03， or the Lechturrum notebooks。 I'd gladly pay more for a better notebook！https://designworksink。com/products/5。。。https://www。leuchtturm1917。us/muted-c。。。 。。。more

Full review， including a walk-through: https://youtu。be/RM4aEHBO_aoI have been using the time blocking method for a few months in a normal paper notebook but as I am a fan of Cal Newport， I decided to get his planner。 The planner has a short introduction that is helpful if you are new to the method， if you are listening to Cal's podcast （I highly recommend it！）， you won't learn anything new。 The planner part is good， simple and easy to follow， it helps you to get things done。 If you are into fan Full review， including a walk-through: https://youtu。be/RM4aEHBO_aoI have been using the time blocking method for a few months in a normal paper notebook but as I am a fan of Cal Newport， I decided to get his planner。 The planner has a short introduction that is helpful if you are new to the method， if you are listening to Cal's podcast （I highly recommend it！）， you won't learn anything new。 The planner part is good， simple and easy to follow， it helps you to get things done。 If you are into fancy journals and planning your day is half an artistic endeavour， this planner is not for you。 If you want to get things done， stay focused on what is ahead of you， get this planner。 。。。more

https://blog。grotenhuis。info/2020/11/。。。Newport’s method is not new， but the planner summarizes it well and provides a good structure for executing it。The physical product is less fit for purpose （page size， binding， paper）， so practicing here and moving elsewhere。 https://blog。grotenhuis。info/2020/11/。。。Newport’s method is not new， but the planner summarizes it well and provides a good structure for executing it。The physical product is less fit for purpose （page size， binding， paper）， so practicing here and moving elsewhere。 。。。more

Not really a book， has a few pages of instruction but this is a 4 month weekly/daily empty planner/calendar。 I believe in the time-block time， management system but I expected a bit more method for the price$$$。
