I used to think time blocking was too restrictive and boring. But I've found a way to make it work for me that actually opens up more room for creativity.

In this video, I break down three different approaches to time blocking and how you can implement them in Tana:

1. Traditional hour-by-hour scheduling

2. "Maker blocking" with 4 flexible time blocks per day

3. Batch blocking for recurring task types

I'll walk you through how to set up each method step-by-step, including the exact searches and configurations to use in Tana.

Plus, I share my top tips for keeping time blocking flexible so it doesn't feel stifling.

Whether you're a manager, maker, or somewhere in between, there's a time blocking method that can work for you.
