Timeblocking or time blocking (also known as time chunking) is a productivity technique for personal time management where a period of time—typically a day or week—is divided into smaller segments or blocks for specific tasks or to-dos. It integrates the function of a calendar with that of a to-do list. It is a kind of scheduling. – Wikipedia

What’s the difference?

• Timeblocking allocates time blocks to specific activities.
• Timeboxing focuses on limiting time spent to the allocated box.

Step 1: Use the CustomGPT “Time Boxer” to create your work schedule prefence

I created a GPT that you can access for free. It will take you through a set of questions and assist you in creating your own custom preferences for structuring your day.

Step 2: Save our preferences

Once the AI assistant spits out a summary, you can copy and paste that into a note or plain text file, save it, and keep it close. (Anything should work: a note, Google Doc, Word, …)

You can update your preferences as you see fit. I provide some sample instructions below, for inspiration.

I expanded and updated the workflow to allow for a calendar integration. This is already included in the above sample instructions and prompt. Here’s a demo of how it works:
