The Block Schedule (How To Start It To Get More Done)

If you’ve been following me for awhile you know my love of getting stuff done, I talk a lot about being efficient and getting more done in less time a lot on my Instagram. I have a knack to volunteer myself for different organizations in town, say yes more than I should and still have dreams of building my own empire – with work and my business. So I need a schedule that will work for my ever-changing day and my busy life.

That’s why a few years ago I started following the block schedule.

It’s been a game changer. Seriously.

If at the end of the day you feel as if you have accomplished hardly anything on your to do list, you’re exhausted and frustrated then I recommend trying the block schedule. It has seriously upped my efficiency and productivity level by leaps and bounds. It helps you get more done in less time without frustration, without burnout and without exhaustion.

Block scheduling is a pretty simple concept, but it can take a minute to explain because the customization is endless. I put together a quick video for you all about how to get started with the block schedule system, what my blocks look like and how you can adapt them to fit your life.

Here’s a quick recap:

Think of time as blocks instead of hour-by-hour. We all have a morning block, mid-day block, afternoon, evening, and so on. Now whether you are a stay-at-home mom, work-from-home or work-away-from-home these block schedules can work for you. In the video I share my example with you, which I work outside the home full-time. I also shared an example of a stay-at-home mom, too so you could get a good idea of how to apply it to your schedule.

Every day doesn’t have to be the exact same, but the goal is to create a system that gives you the ability to get it all done in less time. When you’re in your morning block then you aren’t focused on what you could get done in your afternoon block. Instead if something pops into your head that needs to get done later on, you simply write it down in your mom notebook or on a to-do list and get back to your current block.
