Methodology

The ZexTime method

One block. One context. Everything you need for that moment, in the same place.

ZexTime organises your day in blocks. First you plan them: each block has a context — a name, a moment, an intention — and inside you define everything you need for that moment: the tasks, the habits, and the relevant notes. Then you go into execution mode, block by block, with everything at hand. You open the block and you have it all. When it ends, you close it.

For example:

Workout

Today's sets and reps, your warm-up and stretching habits, and your progress notes.

Meals

Your weekly meal plan, the recipes you need this week, and the shopping list.

Work

Your tasks for the day, email or meeting review habits, and your reference notes and documents.

My Project

The project backlog, the milestones you want to hit this week, and all your accumulated notes and ideas.

This is not traditional time-blocking. We are not strict about times or hours. The schedule dictates the order of blocks — it's the route you follow through the day — but how long you spend on each one is up to you. If you want to control it, you have Pomodoros.

The core idea is simple: the block is the minimum unit of work with full context. You define the structure once in the template — what kind of tasks, which habits, which notes. Each day you just open the block and start. When you're not in it, it doesn't exist.

When The block in your schedule

A real slot in your day, with a start time, duration, and name. Recurring or one-off. Not a reminder — reserved time.

What The block's tasks and habits

Each task and each habit live inside the block they belong to. You only see what is relevant for that moment.

How The block's notes

Each block has its own notes. The relevant information is right there when you need it, without searching in another app.
