Is the time blocking template free?

Yes. Copy it as a checklist or print it, with no sign-up. Using it inside ActivityTracker, with the dates filled in, needs an account.

How do the dates work?

Each task has a day counted from the start: Day 1, Day 3 and so on. In ActivityTracker you pick a start date or a finish date, and every task lands on a real day. Tasks that repeat keep repeating.

Can I change it after I add it?

Yes. It's your project: rename it, add tasks, delete the ones you don't need. Save your version with Save as template and it's there next time.

What if the project I need isn't here?

Describe it in a sentence and the AI in Tasks writes a template for it, with sections and dates you can change before you use it.

About this template

A to-do list says what; a time-blocked day also says when. Each block is one kind of work with a start time and a length. When the day goes off plan, you move the blocks rather than dropping the work.

This project lays out one workday as a template. Each task carries a start time and a duration, so it can be dragged onto the timetable or planned around meetings.

Tips from the template
