In our previous sharing, we introduced time blocking as a way of planning time several times, and today's author is practicing it in her travel notebook:

1. use a weekly calendar to plan each day, blocking out the most important things for each day first.

2. schedule other things in between blocks.

3. use a monthly calendar to plan/track your important schedule.

4. combine the notebook and the app to make the best of each.

Excerpt

Planners are incredibly useful tools. They stand as a road to where you’re going, but also as a record of where you’ve been.

Each morning, I plan out the biggest chunks of my day. There’s usually a “Wake” time somewhere in there, followed by an hour of “Prep” (which may include a tasty cup of coffee with colleagues at the office), and then the major events for the day.

I block things out each morning and try to provide at least some sort of roadmap for the next 16 hours of awake time.

I find this works best to look at in the days leading up to a new month, as I attempt to keep reasonable track of different major events in the monthly spreads.

This Monthly notebook is strictly a monthly planner — I use it to plan months in a general way. I then translate some monthly plans into the Weekly Vertical notebook if I plan to complete something within a given week.

The work itself is more important than the planning, after all.

This index is my attempt at mitigating the major shortfall of using a physical notebook for idea-making and planning: searching and categorizing.
