Guide
How to use a hourly planner
A to-do list says what needs doing; an hourly planner says when. Time blocking on a vertical week shows how much time you really have, and stops a week of meetings swallowing the work that matters.
Start with the fixed blocks
Draw in sleep, commutes, school runs, meetings and classes first. What's left is the time you can actually plan.
Pick three priorities
Write the week's priorities in the strip at the top, then give each one a block in the grid before anything else.
Block in 15-minute slots
Each hour from 5am to 11pm is split into quarter hours, so short tasks and breaks fit too. Shade or outline each block.
Tick off habits
The habits strip has a box for each day for up to four habits.
Audit the week
On Friday or Sunday, compare plan and reality on a time audit page and decide what to protect or cut next week.
What to include in a hourly planner
A vertical hourly weekly planner should make every hour visible. This one includes:
Calendar
Weekly and monthly pages
A year at a glance, a dated month calendar for every month and a vertical hourly week for every week, from 5am to 11pm in 15-minute slots. No daily pages: the week does the hour-by-hour planning.

Digital vs printable hourly planner
A digital hourly planner lets you move a block without crossing out: lasso it in GoodNotes and drag it to another day.
Printed on A4 or US Letter, the vertical week has more room per slot. Highlighters make good time blocks.

An example week in a hourly planner
One goal, followed through a single week. The milestone and weekly actions are the kind of lines the AI goal step writes onto your month and week pages; the daily notes are what you add by hand.

Milestone for February
Deep work blocked and kept on four mornings
This week's actions

See all themesCan I change the hours and slot length?
Yes. In the builder choose when the day starts and ends (any hour, 24-hour clock if you like) and whether each hour splits into 30 or 15-minute slots or stays as one.
What is time blocking?
Time blocking means giving each task a slot in your calendar instead of keeping it on a list. Draw a box around the hours for each task on the vertical week, then check at the end of the week how it went on the time audit page.
Is there a free hourly planner?
You can build this hourly planner and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.
Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?
Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.
Can I print the hourly planner?
Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter, Half Letter or Pocket in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the hourly planner on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.
Is the hourly planner dated or undated?
Dated by default, starting in January 2027. You can pick any start month and year (including this month), a length from 3 months to 5 years, and Monday or Sunday weeks. Or switch to undated and write the dates in yourself, so a skipped week isn't wasted.
Does the AI fill in the hourly planner for me?
Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.
How many pages is the hourly planner?
With the default settings it comes to about 150 pages. That includes 12 month pages, 53 weekly pages, the Time Blocking, Goals, Habits and Monthly Reviews pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.
Make it yours in about a minute.
Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
