Calendar time-blocking setup: one week, three block types
A 6-beat faceless video outline for “Calendar time-blocking setup: one week, three block types” in the Productivity software tutorials niche, derived from caption timing of 2 reference videos.
Angles
- Open on a calendar full of meetings but empty of real work — both references start from that gap
- Three block types: focus, admin (email/messages), and personal/recurring
- Colour-coded secondary calendars make the week readable at a glance
- Warn about the limit: private blocks don't always stop external booking tools
Beat-by-beat structure
- Hook (0:00–0:30): a week where meetings are booked and deep work isn't; promise a one-week setup.
- Concept (0:30–1:30): time blocking = moving to-dos onto the calendar with intent; break big goals into today's blocks.
- Three block types (1:30–3:30): focus, admin batch for email/chat, personal/recurring (exercise, lunch) — each its own colour.
- Setup walkthrough (3:30–6:00): create secondary calendars, drag blocks, set weekday repeats, use keyboard shortcuts.
- Gotchas (6:00–7:00): busy status vs booking links, over-stuffed days, leaving buffer.
- Weekly review + recap: delete what didn't happen, no bonus for a full calendar. Original narration only.
