About This Video

In this video, I’m showing you three calendar blocking strategies I use to stop my days from turning into a chaotic to-do list. The goal isn’t to create a “perfect” schedule—it’s to reduce decision fatigue, plan with intention, and make sure your calendar reflects what actually matters (not just meetings). I walk through when each method works best depending on your season of life, your workload, and how much structure you can realistically maintain. First, I cover general block scheduling paired with daily planning: you block chunks like “deep work,” “admin,” or “life stuff,” then decide the specific tasks closer to the day. Next is specific task scheduling (the granular approach), where you assign tasks to exact times for maximum accountability—great if you love detail or your day tends to disappear. Finally, I share the theme day method, which is all about batching and reducing context switching by giving each day a focus (like writing, meetings, or planning). I also include a few practical tips to make calendar blocking stick, especially if you’ve tried time blocking before and it didn’t last.
