144 blocks a day!

Updated: May 18, 2022

Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” | Jackson Browne.

Have you ever felt like you were running out of time? Have you ever wished the day was longer than 24 hours and wondered how some people accomplish so much in the same amount of time? Or are you simply looking for a way to improve your time management and productivity? Here's a tip for you!


The method is calling (100) blocks a day. I discovered it a few years ago and I've changed it a bit. The principle is simple: we have 24 hours in a day. That's 1440 minutes. Here, each block represents 10 minutes. In the original article, the author preferred to go directly to 100 blocks, thus omitting the 44 blocks if you sleep 8 hours a day. I preferred to stay on 144, to allow everyone to organise themselves according to their own sleep schedule.


You can then allocate the number of blocks you need for an activity. For example, if you work 6 hours a day, that corresponds to 36 blocks. You can divide the blocks according to your daily tasks and obligations, their priority, and thus have a better management of your daily time.


Example of a worker's weekday schedule:

  • Sleep & Rest: 8 hours — 48 blocks

  • Work: 6 hours — 36 blocks

  • Social & Family: 3 hours — 18 blocks

  • Commuting time: 1.5 hours — 9 blocks

  • Entertainment: 1.5 hours — 9 blocks

  • Eating and cooking: 2 hours — 12 blocks

  • Sport & Wellness: 1 hour — 6 blocks

  • Free: 1 hour — 6 blocks


Total : 144 blocs = 1440 minutes = 24 hours.
