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.

    Meet Davey & Krista

    We've spent 15+ years designing brands and websites for creative businesses — and paying close attention to what actually works.

    Every template we've built is informed by real client projects, real conversion data, and a deep understanding of what makes someone go from browsing to booking. We don't just design for beautiful. We design for what happens after someone lands on your page.

    That's why our templates don't just come with files. They come with the guidance to use them — writing prompts, launch checklists, and systems that take you from purchase to published.

    We also teach. Our designer courses are where we train the next generation of designers, and DesignEdit is our newsletter for working creatives who want to stay ahead of AI. All of it comes from the same place: the belief that good design should make your business feel lighter, not harder.
