I have always tried time blocking but it just stresses me out, so I just use it for work related stuff now and I keep stuff like learning something in a habit app

What the difference between using trello and calendar blocking?

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

Trello is a tool that uses the Kanban method, meaning it's used for tasks (project) management, where columns represent the different statuses a task can be. Calendar blocking defines time slots where you are going to go work on specific activities, not necessarily concrete tasks. Both things could be used together.

Do you now use Akiflow instead of Tick Tick?

[@nonsensepraxis]

It's wild that you're like "don't use too many colors"and then use the gradient to pick and choose a color and also not using other calendar apps? Like I understand why it's a terrible idea and I just had a paper planner all the time because I will ignore every phone call or text while I'm busy, my phone is not the best way to help me manage my time better.

[@nonsensepraxis]

Please understand, I love your insights and I want to have time to do all that stuff but when I explain that I'm buffering to others they don't always get it because I haven't given myself buffer time and I'm trying to do too many things at once.
