Weekend Schedule Template
Time blocking a weekend is not about productivity; it is about making sure rest actually happens. Chores are batched early, the middle is free, and a 30-minute weekly review sets up Monday.

Who it's for
People whose weekends vanish into chores, or who want a gentle structure without it feeling like work.
Why it's laid out this way
- Batching chores into one block stops them spreading across both days.
- A weekly review is where time blocking pays off: you plan the week's big blocks in one sitting.
- Unscheduled time is scheduled on purpose.
Make it yours
- Use the weekly planner during the review block.
- Keep one weekend day entirely unblocked if that suits you better.
