To-do lists, brain dump and timeboxing together create a difference, transforming how you manage and complete tasks.
In an extensive study by Harvard Business Review and a comprehensive analysis by Filtered of 100 productivity techniques, timeboxing was found to be the most effective method. Our planner is specifically designed around this proven technique, making it versatile for work, personal development, family engagements, leisure activities, project management, entrepreneurship, and teamwork. By assigning specific time slots to activities, timeboxing sharpens focus and optimizes your time usage, helping you achieve more without feeling overwhelmed.
To-Do List #1 includes your top three most important tasks for the day. To-Do List #2 is for smaller, supporting tasks. This ensures focus on high-priority items while keeping track of everything else.
Allocate specific time slots for your top three tasks first to ensure they get the attention they deserve. Include short breaks to maintain productivity and avoid burnout. Then, use time allocation to assign shorter time blocks for the smaller tasks to ensure they also get completed.
Focus on completing each task within its assigned time slot, maintaining discipline and efficiency. Check off tasks as you accomplish them to track your progress. At the end of the day, reflect on what went well and identify areas for improvement. Use these insights to adjust and optimize your schedule for the next day.
With dedicated sections for personal and career goals, monthly overviews, and weekly plans, you can stay on top of your commitments and priorities.

I've been using this planner for about a month, and it’s really helped me organize my days better. The best part is how it lets me prioritize my top three tasks and then fit in the smaller stuff. My only gripe is I wish it had a bit more space for notes. But overall, it’s made a huge difference in how I manage my time and reduce stress. Definitely recommend it for anyone who likes structure!

I've used a few day planner types of things, but the "time boxing" idea behind this had me intrigued. The actual process is quite simple and not as comlicated as I feared. There are to do lists (yay!) and also planninng for longer term goals, and the centerpiece is a simple idea: A box to plan how long to spend on things. This is not quite a calendar and not quite a to do list. It's an odd combinatio of the two, and I like it. It isn't meant (I think) to be a hard coded "do this at this time" but more of a "this will take this much time so prepare this to do for when you have time to do it." It's working for me.

Harvard Business Review
What is timeboxing?
Timeboxing is a time management technique where you allocate fixed, limited time slots within a given timeframe to specific tasks or activities, allowing you to allocate time efficiently for each task. By setting a start and end time for each task, you create a sense of urgency and focus, so tasks don’t drag on forever. This method makes you more productive and helps you manage your work better by breaking it down into time blocks, emphasizing effective timemanagement.
Does timeboxing work?
Yes, timeboxing is a proven time management technique. Harvard Business Review studies have shown that timeboxing increases productivity and job satisfaction. People who use structured time management like timeboxing complete more tasks and report higher job satisfaction.
What is timeboxing for dummies?
You might have heard of timeboxing for dummies as a simple way to be more productive. Essentially, it’s breaking your day into dedicated time slots for different tasks. For example, 30 minutes for emails, 1 hour for a meeting, and 2 hours for project work. The key is to stick to these time slots and move on to the next task when the time is up. This way, you stay focused, reduce procrastination, and make progress throughout the day.
How is timeboxing different from to-do lists?
Timeboxing is a structured approach compared to to-do lists by allocating specific time slots for each task and ensuring you allocate time appropriately to complete them. This way, you stay focused, and tasks get done within the timeframes, leading to more productivity.
Can I use timeboxing with my existing calendar?
Yes, timeboxing can be used with your existing calendar. By allocating dedicated time slots for tasks, you can allocate time efficiently, manage your schedule better, stay focused, and get all tasks done.
How does timeboxing help you stay focused?
Timeboxing sets clear boundaries for each task within the time slots. This structured approach minimizes distractions and helps you enter a flow state.
What is the difference between timeboxing and time blocking?
Timeboxing and time blocking are similar time management techniques but differ in their application. Timeboxing involves setting a fixed timeframe for each task, creating a sense of urgency and focus. It emphasizes completing tasks within the set period, regardless of whether they are finished. Time blocking, on the other hand, involves dedicating specific periods to categories of tasks or activities, such as meetings, deep work, or personal time, but without the strict focus on completing each task within that block. Time blocking is more about ensuring that each type of task gets adequate time, while timeboxing is about creating efficiency and urgency for individual tasks.
Which Scrum events are timeboxed?
