Since bestselling author Cal Newport introduced The Time-Block Planner in 2020, time-blocking has taken the world by storm. From Tik-Tok to The Today Show , time-blocking has been touted as “near miraculous,” helping people get significantly more done with their limited time. Now, Cal Newport has redesigned his renowned planner based on your feedback. New features include: A spiral binding so the planner lays flat Five daily spreads and a newly condensed weekend/weekly-planning spread per week An increase from three to four months’ worth of planning pages A firmer cover with rounded edges to help prevent bending and warping A revised introduction with Newport’s latest insights about the power of time-blocking. The core idea of time-blocking is to move beyond a simple task list and instead partition your working hours into blocks assigned to specific activities. This allows you the take better advantage of what time you actually have available—more effectively protecting hours for deep work and finding more opportunities to batch shallower efforts into efficient sprints. Newport's new and improved The Time-Block Planner is designed to help you seamlessly integrate this strategy into your daily life, instantly upgrading your ability to avoid distractions and consistently accomplish things that matter. Review: LIFE CHANGING. The final element I needed!! - Self-discipline, personal responsibility, productivity, goal orientation--- these are not my struggle points. On the contrary: DOING TOO MUCH ALL OF THE TIME is my issue. It's challenging to be so incredibly goal-oriented but also realize that other parts of life need space and time (like rest for the body, time with loved ones, casual evenings with friends, participating in something purely for fun, not for fitness or personal enhancement, etc.) This is why I follow Cal and give his tips a good solid try. I'm so glad I found his podcast episode about "life reinvention" (a quarterly or semesterly plan for structured reflection and goal recalibration) in which he mentioned this calendar in its updated format. I expected this calendar to be like all of my other attempts at time blocking: successful for about 3 days, then ditched. I am shocked at how easy it was for me to adjust to it— and how much emotional freedom it has provided!! As you might be able to see in the images I shared, each day gets to unfold a bit differently. But what has shockingly happened in the last 2 months of using this tool is that: 1. I am gentler with myself! My inner self talk has become kinder. I give myself feedback about where things took longer than expected and just notice it with kindness. The next day, I have recent data to pull from when planning my day. 2. I do less STUFF and do more meaningful GOALS. I group red-flag tasks that involve things like email or social media into little groups, then I "tag" those as a group and incorporate limited time for all of those related items into a set period of the day. This allows for... 3. Really devoted attention to the humans who I supervise. I can honestly give 100% of my attention to a client or a staff because my brain can trust that there really is a time for all other stuff later in the day (or the week!) 4. I have way less "production anxiety" --- I'm way less worried that I'll "let myself down" during the week by not getting everything done. Granted, I'm also ...... 5. Making time for personal self-development that feels like a real treat. e.g., and complementary to this, 6. I was already planning to (and had given notice) to my employer when I purchased this journal. I knew that I needed to have a plan for how to plan my unstructured sabbatical time well before it started. I used this as an experimental study of myself for 6 weeks while in my former career and I logged notes about my self-observations along the way. Therefore, when sabbatical started, I had some habits and mental infrastructure for knowing how to gently, slowly, but with disciplined forward momentum, suck all the juice out of every "business" minute of my day. 7. I sleep more, nap more, walk more, exercise more, spend more quality time with my partner, and engage with my friends more!!! This is probably the most shocking outcome. I was, to be honest, worried this would trigger my workaholism addiction, like giving an alcoholic just a wee bit of vodka in their morning o.j. But it has somehow done the opposite!! Now that I'm able to visually see where and how things fit into the day, I see there is, indeed, time for my heart, too. I’m just going to set these on auto-purchase and have them delivered every 4 months. It’s working so well to help me become the sort of human I strive to be in the world. (Which, as it turns out, is way LESS about the number of things I get done! (I’m simultaneously reading Blessing My Demons by C. Forbrook. Reading that text while learning to time block is helping me see how to USE this tool as a means for disentangling my desire for production from what is, at its roots, a taskmaster forcing my progress.) Review: Very helpful for focus on my work! - I bought my first copy in Dec. 2025. I have ADHD, and it's already been most helpful. The only things I wish it had are a pen loop and a page marker. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #10,801 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Business & Organizational Learning #16 in Strategic Business Planning #21 in Systems & Planning | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 280 Reviews | ## Images ![The Time-Block Planner (Second Edition): A Daily Method for Deep Work in a Distracted World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pm44QkDrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LIFE CHANGING.

I have ADHD, and it's already been most helpful. The only things I wish it had are a pen loop and a page marker. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Planner *by T***N on January 4, 2026* Great planner! I only wish the binding and cover were more durable. I carry it around back and forward to work, so I need it to be more sturdy. If you only want it for your job, then it is perfect just the way it is made, and it will keep you organized and on task. I’ve bought two so far. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Time-Block Planner (Second Edition): A Daily Method for Deep Work in a Distracted World - Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout - Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/493751422-the-time-block-planner-second-edition-a-daily-method-deep](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/493751422-the-time-block-planner-second-edition-a-daily-method-deep) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
