I just created a free Adulting 101 email challenge for soon-to-be/recent grads and in one of the emails I mention timeboxing as I swear by it. I am definitely going to link to this article in it! Thanks for sharing this helpful breakdown!

This is such a helpful breakdown—thank you! I especially appreciate how you grounded the process in values. That’s the part that resonated most with me. As someone balancing full-time work, family life, and creative pursuits, the detailed calendar examples honestly felt a bit overwhelming at first. But your reminder to start with values really brought me back to what matters most.

I’ve personally found a lot of clarity by setting aside one Focus Block a day—a dedicated window for working on top priorities and passion projects like writing and art. That simple practice has helped me carve out meaningful time, even on the busiest days.
