Productivity tips

• Block high-energy work in morning slots and schedule admin tasks for low-energy periods.
• Reuse recurring blocks for routine tasks to reduce decision fatigue.
• Color-code categories (focus, meetings, errands) for quick scanning.
• Plan tomorrow’s blocks the night before and review weekly to improve routines.

Compatibility

• Works in Word, which can be printed or shared via email.
• Compatible with common paper sizes — change the page size in Word (Layout > Size) to match your printer or local standard.
  • US Letter: 8.5 × 11 in (common in the United States and Canada).
  • US Legal: 8.5 × 14 in (longer sheet often used for contracts and legal forms).
  • A4: 210 × 297 mm (≈ 8.27 × 11.69 in; the standard in Europe and most of the world).

Practical notes on size differences and printing:

• Letter vs A4: A4 is slightly taller and narrower than Letter; content sized for one may need minor layout or margin tweaks when printed on the other.
• Legal vs Letter: Legal is the same width as Letter but longer — useful if you need extra vertical space.
