Time-Blocking Not Working? Here's How to Make It Work for Your Brain (Even If You've Tried Before)

Tried time-blocking and felt like a complete failure when you couldn't stick to those rigid calendar blocks? You're not broken - the system just wasn't designed for your brain. In this episode of Thrive in Five, business coach Cindy Gordon reveals how to customize time-blocking to work with your unique brain type, energy patterns, and entrepreneurial reality.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why traditional time-blocking fails for most entrepreneurs (and it's not your fault)
• How to reality check your actual energy patterns instead of following generic "peak hours" advice
• The three different time-blocking styles: Theme Blocking, Time Boxing, and Energy Blocking
• Why building 25% buffer time into your schedule is a game-changer for busy entrepreneurs
• Real client transformation: from time-blocking failure to consistent productivity using brain-friendly methods
• How to make your time blocks "flexible walls, not prison cells"

Perfect for: Entrepreneurs and business owners who've tried time-blocking before but couldn't make it stick, especially those with ADHD, anxiety, or non-traditional work styles.

Episode Highlights: "Time-blocking isn't a one-size-fits-all solution - it's a customizable tool that should adapt to your brain, not the other way around."

"You don't need to change who you are to fit a productivity method - you need to find the method that fits who you are."

Stop forcing yourself into productivity systems that don't fit. Start creating time-blocking that works with your brain, not against it.
