My partner does this, but she just does it on her Google Calendar. It really works for her. My son uses it too, but he's a student. It's been really helpful for me that he manages his obligations this way because it's easy for me to see what he has planned and offer optimizations to how he's planning his bigger efforts.
I wouldn't be inclined to use it myself, as I have my own method of getting things done. They both moved into time blocking because their previous methods weren't really getting them where they thought they should be.
Both are happier and less stressed working this way.

- jasonv 6y agoBeen thinking about how to answer this. People search for new systems when their current system doesn't work. I am not shopping for a new system. I keep notes, wake early, do my thing, and record in Todoist the things I find myself avoiding or procrastinating. Other than that, I have a sense of what I need to do, a desire to do it, and -- maybe most importantly -- a strong sense of what it'll take to get those things done. And a track record that keeps me from ruminating on whether I need a different system. I've been involved in creative endeavors such that I apply "creative mode" to most of my business and technical endeavors. Being able to get things done, and feeling satisfied in that effort, usually belies the need for more or different "system".
