BTB Episode 82: 5 Tips for Creating a Productive Schedule

Brands that Book Show

filed in

Davey Jones and Vanessa Kynes

“For me, I have a lot of repeatable things that I'd like to do every single week. What do I want to accomplish on Mondays that I notice myself doing every single Monday? So I take those by day: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I've created a schedule and there is flexibility; there always is, right?”


Vanessa Kynes is back and joining me for a discussion on building a block schedule. We review a blog post I wrote a few years ago on block scheduling, but it was written in a very different season of life than the one I’m in right now; specifically, didn’t have a kid then.

Vanessa and I approach this conversation differently, so I hope that’s helpful for anyone listening who wants to put some intentionality back into their daily schedule.
