Usually more like This was great. I was trying to block my time just like high school and with small kiddos it was not working out. I am curious though, have you ever played with doing less time for some blocks?
Congrats with baby 6!! Work at home mom of 4 here! Thank you SO much for this! My goals the last few years have been to get more organized, over and over again. Woo hoo! I really need to find something that works for our family, and I think this may be exactly what I need to try. Excited to have found your website and channel, and to find more of your amazing life hacks! Hello Jordan, a few other have already asked about and I would also be very interested to know how you handle your weekends with this system?
I just watched your video today. I downloaded an app on to my phone witb timers so that I can keep my day scheduled and not waste so much time. Wish me luck as I try to get my time reorganized. And thank you for being so open about your faith. Do you seriously move on and leave things undone? I make lists and push myself to get everything done.
So, today was my first day. How do I keep from overloading my time blocks? How do you think the block system can work for a law student whose dismissal varies daily? Hi Maxine! You just change your block for each day- so say you have 3 blocks a day, adjust them around depending on your needs and the times your class gets out. That is the beauty of the blocks.
I reaally want to try using your block system. But how do you think it could work for a law student whose schedule varies throughout the week?
And I go to school at 10AM every day. I would maybe try blocking your time for the latest possible time you get out- all week. Then adding some misc. So you would have a super set, intentional morning block, school block, and then 8pm on block: which would probably be fairly basic like eating a quick pre-prepped meal and preparing for the next day and studying because LAW SCHOOL etc.
Hi Jordan! Thanks for sharing and for sure I will try with my routine. Im from Brazil and I love your videos.? It has helped my stat at home mom life manageable. I have just recently started my own personal blog and wanted to do a post about how your block schedule has saved my life.
Is that ok with you if I link back to this page and put up no images or content that are from your site? It will purely be about how I implement block scheduling into my day. Again I will also link back to this page and reference your blog. Thanks again for all your posts! He is always overwhelmed and can get distracted, off task and all kinds of discombobulated during the day.
He is super excited about this concept to keep him on tract. Especially the usage of alarms. He was so excited that he even brought your video up at work during the morning meeting where they then, all sat and watched your video together! There is a reason you are viral and amazing thank you so much for all the great advice! Love the idea, though!
Thank you so much, Jordan! This will help me manage all of the goals I have and businesses I want to build. I watched your video at double-speed. Thank you for the thorough, informative, and hilarious video. I love your energy. My schedule is rather unorthodox, even for a freelancer as I work for one institution four days a week. Mondays and Wednesdays I start lectures at 2. On Saturdays I work from 9. This is only class time, admin work, emails, counseling or workshops are not included.
Any tips? My biggest tip would be to figure out what you NEED to get done on those work days, and then change the time that you do those things each day so that you are getting them done before or after classes. This is brilliant! I was wondering if you have examples of what your blocks look like during summer break? They still basically stay the same, I just take out any school-related tasks and put in whatever summer-related tasks need to be added in!
What link are you talking about? Can you provide a link to the video where you go over the google calendar alarm? Hey Sharon! So many great ideas! I have 4 kids and 5 is on the way. You say so many things that resonate with me.
Thank you so much for putting all this great information and ideas out there for other Moms to utilize. I just adapt our block system in the summer!
In the morning we do our chore block, then our outing block, then my working block, then our dinnertime and bedtime blocks. I hope that helps! Hi Jordan, Thank you for sharing all these awsome ideas to get a grip on life and money! Your budgetting tips are very usefull to plan my income better and not run from paycheck to paycheck every month, without any back up for unexpected expenses. This block system looks super useful to me, but it seems hard to implement into my work schedule.
I work fulltime in a rotating 3 shift system. First week morningshift , second nightshift and third afternoon shift My husband works mondays, thursdays and fridays and my two teenage daughters live with us 11 days out of 14 and with their father the other 3 days. Personally I have a hard time during the nightshift weeks, I walk around like a zombie and even colleagues are often worried about me.
Getting enough sleep during the day time is the hardest part. My internal clock is so set on daylight that I can only manage to get 2 naps in of approx I hardly keep my eyes open during the nightshifts, but as soon as I step outside at 6am and the sun is coming up I am awake. I am going to play around in excel with your block concept and see if I can set up a 5 week schedule which fits in all of our family schedules. My husbands weekly schedule, my daughters weekly school schedule and their 2 weeks visitation schedule and my own 3 weeks schedule.
Hi Linda! The block system will change your life once you are able to figure it out. It took some trial and error on my part until I was able to figure out what worked best when for my family. We are into the second weekend now and so far it already has helped me lots. Thank you! My husband and kids can follow my schedule. I set alarms in my iphone that go off when the new block starts. Thank you for the great tutorial on block scheduling!
I have 3 small children, the oldest is in kindergarten and the other two stay home with me. Do you have any tips on how to do a block schedule for my children to help me stay on schedule with my block schedule?? I feel you! Trying this out for myself. I am NOT an organized person and I can never stick with any sort of planner.
It really is so simple! My next goal is to sign up for your Productivity bootcamp as soon as I can spare the cash! I need all the help I can get in that area! It is SUCH a great program!
Thanks so much Jordan, not even therapy could get me out of the rut I was in for the past 2 years. For the first time I have answers and ideas on how to get my life back. I am overwork, and suffering with depression as a result. I have been struggling to unpack boxes from our bigger house for nearly 2 years, now finally I have a strategy, to start doing it. Same for tackling family, meal prep, budgeting challenges and just living!
Thank you so much, you are like the big sister I never had who are able to teach me. I really hope that all of my tips can help you out! Hey Jorda! The block system sounds like the missing piece to my staying-on-task puzzle.
Do you have tips for those balancing new babies and bigger tasks? For example, I am trying to rearrange my kitchen today, something that could easily fit in a 3-ish hour block, but my 6 week baby is cluster feeding. Any ideas how to be structured and flexible at the same time? Welcome and congratulations on your new baby! Can your husband take the baby between you working on the kitchen and nursing? Good luck! Thanks Jordan, yes that all makes sense. And really kirchen projects are not an everyday thing.
When big projects do come up, maybe I cam break them up into smaller tasks so that I CAN leave them for a later day if necessary. I was also thinking that perhaps in this tiny baby stage, I can super simplify my blocks into just morning and afternoon.
Thanks for the great ideas! That all sounds good to me! Morning and afternoon blocks would still work better than none at all! I look forward to formalizing my blocks a little more so I can get more done. Are you going to be coming out with a printed planner???? It would be amazing if you are! Formalizing them will really help you out to get more done and free up your time! Google Sheets would be your best bet!
Hi Jordan.. This block system is great help for me. This is life changing. I can divide my energy through the day and complete many chores everyday. Thanks a lot. I want to share this tips to other so I will attach this post link in my blog. Have a nice day. So glad to hear that! You are welcome to share the tips as long as you link to the post, like you said. Hi Jordan. I just watched the You Tube on the time blocking.
I am overwhelmed trying to begin? Just know that each day may be a little different! How can I organize my time to be more efficient? Rather than focusing on time of the day to get things done, try coming up with blocks that can be moved around each day to fit your schedule.
Do that with each block of time that you need to get done, then make you a new block schedule for the week after you get your new schedule on Saturday. You may not necessarily always be able to get 3 hours of studying and school work done every day, but you can move it around and make it fit into your schedule when you have time.
Hope that helps! Not for the time being. But you never know when it might be on sale! We did release the Productivity Planner Lite , which is a digital download you can use until you can get your hands on the spiral version. I want to know how do you schedule weekends? Do you do the same or something totally different or sorta a mix? Sundays are church and family day, with lots of meal prep to get us ready for the coming week. Before we came out with the planner, I used to use a To-Do Book to write everything down and then move them to the appropriate block on my block schedule printable.
I started maternity leave today. This definitely helps me get into a new routine! I can see how this would accommodate during postpartum and breastfeeding as well! Congratulations on your new baby!
