Weekly Planner & Time-Block Schedule

About the Weekly Planner & Time-Block Schedule

Plan a week hour by hour with time blocks: work, meetings, study, exercise, family and anything else you give a category. Click or tap an empty time to add a block, drag it to another time or day, drag its bottom edge to change its length, or use the keyboard. Mark a block as a routine and it repeats every week; set a goal in hours for each category and the planner shows how the week compares — two hours short on exercise, on target for work.

Keep a list of tasks beside the week, each with how long it takes, and drop them on the grid or let the planner put each one in the first open slot. The week follows your country’s first day of the week (Monday or Sunday, as you choose) and the 12- or 24-hour clock. Save a week as a template and start the next week from it, or press Start next week to keep the routines and clear the one-off blocks. Everything is kept in this browser.

Without a pass, the planner, the routines, the tasks, the totals and the templates work in full and the printable planner shows as a free preview. A Pro pass unlocks the printable planner as a PDF (A4 or Letter, portrait or landscape) and printing, the calendar file (.ics) of the week’s blocks with the routines repeating, and the week as text.

Common uses

• Protect time for focused work around meetings.
• Plan a study week around classes and a part-time job.
• Balance work, exercise and family time against weekly goals.
• Print a weekly planner for the fridge or the desk.

Time blocking

Time blocking gives every important piece of work, and every part of life you want to protect, its own time in the calendar — instead of a to-do list that grows faster than the day. Block the big things first (focused work, routines, family time), leave room for the unexpected, then fit the smaller tasks into the gaps. The planner shows when blocks overlap, and when blocks fall outside the hours the grid shows.

Routines, the next week and templates

• A routine happens every week: it stays when you press Start next week, and repeats weekly in the calendar file (for as many weeks as you choose, or with no end).
• Start next week moves to the week after, keeps the routines and the open tasks, and clears the one-off blocks.
• Save as a template keeps the whole week — categories, goals, blocks and open tasks — to start a week from later. Templates stay in this browser; a backup file holds them too.

Categories and goals

Each block can have a category, with a colour and a weekly goal in hours. The totals add up the hours of each category and say how they compare with the goal: on target, so much short, or so much over. Goals are your own targets — hours of focused work, of exercise, of family time — not rules.

The printable planner and the calendar file

• Printable planner: the week on one page, A4 or US Letter, portrait or landscape — the grid of the hours shown with every block in its colour, the hours by category against the goals, the open tasks with tick boxes and lines for notes.
• Calendar file (.ics): every block on its date in the iCalendar format (RFC 5545) that Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook import. Times are local clock times — a 07:00 run stays at 07:00 wherever your calendar is — and routines repeat weekly.
• Text: the week day by day, to paste into a message or a note.

Limitations

• One week is planned at a time: start the next week from the routines or from a template.
• The planner sends no reminders; import the calendar file into your calendar for those.
• Up to 300 blocks, 100 tasks and 12 categories in a week, and 20 templates in this browser.
• The PDF draws Latin, Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese letters; text in other scripts shows as “?” there. The calendar file and the text keep it.
