I don't do time blocking all the time, but i find it to be most useful when I'm trying to work on something(s) like tasks or assignments that will require a lot of time relatively, so I find it helpful to literally build in dedicated time where I will go and do that task. I personally do this is in google calendar and I color code everything to be easy to look out and cute <3

as a certified time blocker, definitely take it slow. you don't have to block everything, just start off with things like classes, eating times, and events. you can fill it up later, and if you start feeling bad because you're not sticking to it, take note of that and see how you can adjust your schedule!

I love this! I've been a big class + events + social calendar user for a while but I've never tried time blocking tasks for work, etc. I was hoping it would make me more productive but I think my productivity ebbs and flows and I haven't quite gotten the hang of it. will definitely have to continue experimenting though!

p.s. how do you find your chronotype? or alternatively a question for the question box: how do you figure out which times you study best?

I personally searched up a picture of the 4 chronotypes and self-identified with the bear! I think the majority of people are bears as this is the natural body internal alarm (but I could be wrong)? I'd suggest taking a quiz and reading more into it if you're into that kind of thing! I went through a phase where I loved to take quizzes like enneagrams and MBTI so that's how I found it!

definitely! I think it's important to try out a bunch of different things but I am learning not to blame myself if something doesn't work well for me!
