Buckets: Time Blocking Planner

Where does your week actually go?

Buckets holds the parts of your life that matter, work, movement, sleep, family, and gives each one a weekly intention: how much time you actually want to pour in.

Then it helps you protect that time before the week gets noisy.

HOW IT WORKS

Bucket. One area of your life, with a weekly intention. Work. Movement. Sleep. Family. Study. Faith. Whatever yours are.

Block. You protect time for a Bucket by placing a Block on your calendar, in advance. A promise made to yourself while the week is still quiet.

Session. When the Block arrives you start a focus session, and the timer runs. Work, move, rest, read. The session just holds the time.

Pour. When you finish you confirm what actually happened, and only then does it pour into the Bucket. A Pour is never recorded without you.

That last part is the whole point. Buckets does not watch you, guess at you, or fill itself in behind your back. Your week is only as full as you say it is, which is what makes the number worth looking at.
