BlockSix is a time management system that divides a day into six blocks, boldly eliminating unnecessary things and allowing you to focus on what matters. The author states, “No matter how hectic your schedule is, if you divide your day into six blocks following the BlockSix method, your daily life will become simpler.”

Remember, the core of BlockSix is to select important values as keywords and read the flow of the day at a glance. You can simply summarize your day with six words. This is the essence of BlockSix.

To get straight to the point, the problem was ‘treating all 24 hours as equally important.’ I needed a format where I could write only the keywords I deemed important every day. The next crucial point was that ‘keywords’ should intuitively take precedence over ‘time.’ Time should not be the primary standard, with tasks assigned to specific times. Important values must come first.

Time management itself is not what matters. What is important is not to forget what kind of life we want to live through time management. Time management and planner writing are just tools that guide us in that direction. The slogan that encompasses all of this is ‘cut down on the unnecessary, and do what you want.’ I hope you don’t waste your life in a busy routine. Also, I hope you live a life where you do what you truly want and experience exhilaration.
