Linking values to boxes is great! I would also add buffers in between because some task will overflow, that’s for sure and if you get inspired you will want to follow your flow and not stop…I would also do like airlines and double book some boxes to have a plan B when I assume Plan A may be cancelled…🩶
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.

Old theme, but actionable and insightful anyways! Thanks
