Do more in less time with 25-minute blocks. Take it one block at a time and surprise yourself with how much you can accomplish. Inspired by tried and trusted time management techniques. Block & Flow is simple, beautiful and will get your productivity flowing. FEATURES: - A 25-minute visual countdown keeps you focussed and avoiding distractions. - Manage your energy levels with regular breaks - Measure your day, week and longer by how many blocks you finish. - Colour code a block for the activities that you do often or care particularly about. - Goals enable you to be intentional with your time. - History gives you an understanding of where your time goes. - A block’s duration can be changed to your ideal time. WHY IT WORKS: - It makes it easy to get the day started. Just do your first block. - Creates an enjoyment and satisfaction as you see all that you get done. See your blocks build up one by one. - It is clear when to stop. Stop when your block has finished, or after you have done x many blocks for the day. - Every block that you finish is a small success. As these small successes build-up, your self- belief grows. - If you keep finishing your blocks. The time will add up to a lot and you will surprise yourself. (We under-estimate what we can do in the long term). WHO IS IT FOR? People tell me that they do x many blocks a day, or over a week which is fantastic. A few people have been completing their blocks for a year and more. I imagine someone completing their blocks over a month, a year and ultimately many years. I believe they will grow as a person, stretch themselves, and be surprised with what they are able to learn, create and accomplish. This is what excites me and motivates me to do my best for someone that chooses Block & Flow. What will you accomplish, one block at a time?

About

Drawable Task Board

Read full description

Drawable Task Board turns every task into a visual workspace. Build a clean Kanban workflow, then open a focused whiteboard inside each board card. Use sticky notes, text, drawings, shapes, arrows, checklists, images, files, tables, and templates to break work down visually without leaving your task board. Designed for founders, indie makers, product teams, students, freelancers, designers, planners, and anyone who thinks better with a board in front of them. What you can do: - Create workspaces for projects, launches, study plans, client work, or personal goals - Organize work in Kanban columns such as To Do, In Progress, Review, and Done - Open a whiteboard inside every board card - Add sticky notes, text blocks, checklists, tables, images, files, shapes, and arrows - Sketch ideas with a pen, change stroke color and thickness, and erase drawings - Link ideas together with arrows and visual flows - Use templates for brainstorming, sprint planning, product roadmaps, user journeys, flowcharts, mind maps, retrospectives, and tables - Switch between light and dark mode - Export your board as PNG or PDF Why it is different: Most task apps stop at lists. Most whiteboard apps live outside your actual workflow. Drawable Task Board brings both together: a calm Kanban board for managing work, plus a visual canvas inside each card for planning the details. Use it for: - Project planning - Visual task management - Product roadmaps - Sprint planning - Creative briefs - Study planning - Meeting notes - Client work - Personal productivity - Brainstorming - Flowcharts and mind maps - Start simple Create a workspace, add a board card, and open its whiteboard. As your idea grows, the board grows with it. Drawable Task Board is built for people who want structure without losing the freedom to think visually.
