Time Blocking for Exams
Ditch endless to-do lists. Assign every study task a specific start and end time on your calendar—like an appointment with a doctor—so you never waste willpower deciding what to do next.
A calendar block forces you to confront how much time you actually have and protects your evening free time.
You write 'Study Biology' on a massive to-do list, stare at it all afternoon, and push it to tomorrow.
- Break vague goals ('Study Calc') into specific outputs ('Solve 10 derivative problems').
- Place each task into a 45- or 60-minute calendar block with a 15-minute buffer block after.
- If a block gets interrupted, reschedule the block immediately instead of abandoning the plan.
