After setting the SMART goals, students can still fall into the problem of having too many tasks to do or spending
more time doing less important works. Therefore, the Time-Blocking Method emerges as a powerful solution to
address this problem by offering an organized approach.
In this method, students will divide their 24 hours per day into blocks of time. Each block is dedicated to
accomplishing a specific task. Unlike a to-do list, time blocking not only tells you what to do but when to do it.
By breaking down tasks into manageable blocks, students can prioritize effectively, maintain focus, and avoid the
pitfalls of multitasking.
These are 5 steps our group find them simple to build a time block for beginners:
1. Create a to-do list. Using prioritization matrix, you will figure out which task should be prioritized and which
can be deleted to save more time based on the level of importance and urgency of each task.
2. Grouping same task into a group: email such as reading, sending, or replying to emails

3. Think about how much time do you need for a task. Then allocate more time than that to make sure you do
not get caught short and have to catch up and find more time later, which is not productive.

5. Schedule an event on the calendar
People can write down their time blocker on paper. However, in this digital age, there are many tools to help people
build their time blockers. Besides, gg calendar is one of the most popular tools. Clockwise is also a free tool to help
us organize our schedule. Through this example, we can see clearly that thanks to applying the time-blocking
method, this user can save 2 hours and work more efficiently in each task. Therefore, I believe this will be an useful
method to help people organize their time logically.
