Hey family!
I wanted to share a great resource that can help you stay on top of your schedule and make the most of your time. This free printable is called Weekly Time Blocking and it’s from Adore Them. Check it out:
As you can see, the printable is colorful and easy to read. It includes space for you to write in your appointments, tasks, and goals for each day. It even has mini to-do lists for each day, so you can stay organized and productive.
- Start by filling in your non-negotiables, such as work hours or family time
- Block out time for your most important tasks first, then fill in smaller tasks around them
- Give yourself breaks throughout the day, and use them to recharge or do something enjoyable
- Review and adjust your time blocking regularly, based on what works best for you
Remember, this printable is just a tool. It won’t magically make you productive or organized. But with consistent use and a positive mindset, it can help you create a schedule that works for you and your goals.

Time blocking is based on the principle that we can be more productive and focused when we work on one task at a time, rather than jumping between different tasks throughout the day. Our brains work best when we have a clear goal and a set amount of time to achieve it.
When we use time blocking, we create a visual plan for our day or week. This plan helps us stay focused, avoid distractions, and make progress on our goals. It also helps us prioritize our tasks and eliminate the ones that aren’t important or necessary.
In addition, time blocking can reduce our stress levels and increase our sense of control. By creating a schedule that works for us, we feel more empowered and less overwhelmed. We also give ourselves permission to rest and recharge, which is crucial for our mental and physical health.
Time blocking is just one way to manage your time effectively. Here are a few more tips that might work for you:
- Use a timer or stopwatch to track your work sessions
- Break larger tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks
- Delegate tasks to others if possible
- Schedule time for self-care and relaxation
- Eliminate time-wasting activities, such as social media or TV
- Get enough sleep and exercise to support your focus and energy
Remember, the key to effective time management is to find what works for you. We all have different schedules, priorities, and energy levels. Experiment with different strategies until you find the ones that help you stay focused, motivated, and productive.
