It happened again: At the end of the day you feel like you weren't
able to do anything you wanted. And you thought that day would be
THE day...
We've all been there and the origin of the problem is the same: you're not keeping track of your day and activities. When you realize it's already late at night.
Here's the solution. The mind isn't good at visualizing big numbers. That's why you can easily imagine 1 meter but 100000 meters you can't. The same happens when we try to plan our days as just one big block of 24 hours. We over or underestimate how much we can do with that.
This app based on the article from Wait But Why will fix that. The approach is simple: break down this big 24-hour block into digestible pieces so you can visualize your time and finally put your life on track.
Small blocks of 10 minutes are simpler to track and visualize than the big hour blocks we commonly use. So in the app you'll have 144 of them every day to plan your activities.
If you sleep 7-8 hours a day you'll have 100 small blocks to keep track of. If you work for 8 hours well now you have 52 blocks to do everything. Spent 3 hours on social media? Now you have 40 left. And every 10 minutes you lose another one.
Using the app you'll see how little time we have. However you'll also be able to track it much more efficiently. You can be productive if you know where your blocks are being wasted!
How will you use the next block? Start planning and tracking now with some great features:
- A blocks-based visualization of every single day so you can timebox your tasks
- The blocks get filled as the day goes by helping you stay on track
- Create as many activities as you need. Keep track of everything!
- Tap and hold the blocks to allocate or deallocate activities
- After allocating an activity you'll receive a notification 10 minutes before it starts!
- Statistics and charts will help you have data to help you improve
- No need for an internet connection! Wherever you are you can see your blocks.
You can use this app in two ways:
1. Strictly planning and timeboxing every day keeping track of each block. This is the most effective way of learning how you spend your days!
2. Pick a couple of activities to track. You can keep track of just some of them leaving the rest blank. You won't get as many insights but it's easy to create the habit of tracking!
Both ways will help you live more productive and happier days! It's flexible enough to fit with different techniques like time blocking: you can use the technique of timeboxing just like Elon Musk manages his time. By timeboxing you can have small blocks of time dedicated to a single task. Time block timeboxing or timeblocky will help you be more productive!
Check the app before going to sleep every day so you understand how you spent your day and learn how to do it better the next day!
You can also write notes and create tasks inside the activities:
◦ Organize your to-do list for each activity directly in-app
◦ Track the time spent on tasks by using the activities to plan your to-do lists
◦ If you have important stuff to record use the Notes widget inside the activity
◦ You can keep a diary for each relevant activity!
After all that you can also use the POMODORO that's also available in-app! With rounds of 25 minutes you'll be able to focus while tracking your time. You can also personalize the focus time and the number of rounds.
Stop wasting your blocks without noticing! Using the blocks is completely free so enjoy it :)
