How one frustrating habit led to our most-loved productivity tool. 📝 I’ve always liked to-do lists. They're simple and sit nicely on your desk. But the part I struggled with? Seeing how much time I actually had in a day. Sure, I technically work 9–5… but between meetings, lunch, and the occasional post-dinner work sprint, I started wondering: how many real working blocks do I actually have? That’s when I discovered time blocking. It worked well for my style of working, but setting it up on Google Calendar every morning? Way too much effort. So I mocked up a simple grid in Figma, printed it out, and placed it next to my to-do list. That was the turning point. I could actually see what I had to do and how much time I had to do it. Suddenly, I was making smarter calls about my day. And just like that, Task & Time was born. 📝 Left side: To-do list ⏱ Right side: Time grid for blocking and tracking focus I even created a habit card to help me stay consistent. And Kenny? He helped design a stand to keep everything visible on your desk. We printed a few, bundled them up, and launched the kit. Paired with a Pomodoro timer, it became my favorite tool. If you wanna check it out for yourself, drop a “card” below and I’ll send you the link 😉 – Sam
