Time Blocking with Focly

Goal

Reserve time for important work so tasks don’t compete for attention all day.

Step-by-step

Step 1 — Identify your 2–3 priority outcomes

• Choose outcomes, not activities

  • Example: “Finish draft”, not “Work on draft”

Step 2 — Create blocks in your day

• Add a Deep Work block for the biggest task

• Add an admin block for messages, scheduling, and quick wins

• Add buffers so reality doesn’t break your plan

Step 3 — Attach tasks to blocks

• Put tasks inside the time blocks they belong to

• Keep each block focused on one theme

Step 4 — Protect blocks

• Use reminders to start on time

• If a block is interrupted, move it—don’t delete it

Best practice

Time blocking works when you treat blocks as appointments with yourself.
