It’s hard to block your time when you don’t know how you should be blocking it. Let’s start with the basic things first. Just block what you know is for sure. For eg - the time for office. Let’s just put that.

Okay. I’ve put in the blocks of office work. Looking good so far. Now, I know that I will go to the gym on Tues, Thurs, Sat, and Sun. Let’s try putting that there. Let’s also put the dinner. I’m trying to have early dinners these days.

Done with the dinner and gym. Actually I only put the gym for Tues and Thurs. I don’t know when will I go to the gym on the weekends. I may go in the mornings some days or the evenings. I could always plan it on the same days as well. For now, I may have empty spaces in the calendar which is fine.

Now, I’m looking at the weekly view of my calendar based on what I’ve put so far. Wait, let me put the time for sleep as well.

Just did. I’ve also made the basic things recurring for all days - like waking up, breakfast, dinner. And the work for every weekday. Now I’m looking at the empty spaces.

On first look, no strong complaints. There seems to be enough spaces on weekends, Mon, Wed, and Fri. Obviously general chores, socializing and relationships will also fill up some of my time, but I could always find time to prioritize the things I want. Now, what all do I want to prioritize?

Well there are different things I want to do. Since I can do anything I want but not everything I want, I should keep my list prioritized. And of course, the priorities will keep on changing. They could be changing every week. There may be newer things to do, or things that I no longer want to do. So, I should always be revising them. I could create a separate page for Priorities and manage them there. Ali Abdaal also said to set and track your goals. I’ve heard very different opinions of setting goals from every other person I listen to. But Ali’s point was that goals will help define your priorities. It may make it easier for you to decide what to prioritize.
