A Block is a focused work session with a timer and a clear intention.

Choose something you want to move forward, set the timer, and give it your full attention for a while.

That’s it.

Blocks isn’t about squeezing more out of every minute or adopting a system for your whole life. It’s a simple way to make meaningful work easier to start, easier to return to, and easier to see over time.

Your completed Blocks become a record of the time and attention you’ve invested in the person you’ll be later.

Blocks is inspired by David Cain’s Block Method, described in his essay How to Inherit a Fortune.
