Calendar blocking is a time management technique that allows you to schedule everything in a calendar system (like Google Calendar) in a daily and weekly view. With these time slots, you are able to see exactly what tasks you should be working on, and how your life, business and other activities are balanced out throughout the week.
We’re all tired of Google Calendar by this point, right? Although it’s still the Calendar Blocking holy grail, time blocking apps have grown exponentially over the years. You now have incredible alternatives that were engineered from scratch for this specific time management technique.
So in this video we are going to look at 5 great google calendar alternatives, their different features and how to use them and then at the end I’ll give you my verdict on the app I would pick out of this group.

I don't need a 'DAY PLANNER' , I would like a monthly planner where I can keep track of my different workout activities and events throughout the month. A calendar with BIG SQUARES for each day that I can click on , easily expand, enter lots of text and easy edit, (win10) and NOT ADS. Is that available?

I just hit the like and subscribe button for this channel and I really appreciate the value that this channel and similar channels bring to the community, to the personal development journey of everyone. The truth is that I also owe KZfaq for developing myself as I am today and becoming a better version every day. I am always grateful for this and I think it is my turn to contribute value to KZfaq, to the community even though it is still very small. That is why I just created the first video on KZfaq in my life on the topic of personal development. Hope it will also help the community. Thank you

As a university student organisation is NOT my strong suit, and that was keeping my full potential away, I always knew I needed a timetable, and google had done its work for me in the past, however thanks to you I know where to start for a better timetabling software! Also I usually skip adds but 'short form' seems really great actually, I'll consider using it. Thanks again, and truly God bless you!

This is nice, but it doesn't quite hit what I want. I'd like to get into better task management as right now I have basically no task management in my life, and it can be a problem to get motivated. The thing is, the basic things I want from any sort of calendar/task app is what I want from most apps: An ability to self-host or at least some sort of privacy focus. At the moment, I've installed the nextcloud calendar and task apps. We'll see how that goes.
