LESSON 2 · Master Your Time

Build Your Ideal Week

A template is a recurring weekly skeleton where every hour has a purpose. Start with four block types:

  • Deep work blocks (2-4 hrs) — Your highest-value creative or analytical work. Put these in your biological peak, which is the morning for most people.
  • Admin blocks (1-2 hrs) — Email, messages, scheduling, expenses. Batch them instead of sprinkling them all day.
  • Meeting blocks — Herd meetings into 2-3 set windows. Scattered meetings shred whole days.
  • Buffer blocks (30 min) — Gaps between blocks for overflow and transitions.
