Timeblocking in Yoodoo

Turn your chaotic task list into a clear plan you can actually follow.

Timeblocking is the essence of Yoodoo, and what makes the app work as a system for helping you have a productive day, every day. It’s what turns your chaos into a clear, doable plan — and helps you actually stick to it.


Timeblocking in Yoodoo follows 5 simple steps:

  1. 🧠 Brain dump

  2. 🎯 Prioritise

  3. 📅 Plan your day

  4. ⏱️ Focus

  5. 🔁 Reschedule & repeat


1. Do a Brain Dump

Start on the Lists page.

  • Use the Quick Add bar at the bottom to type in 3–5 tasks to get started.

  • Tap the ➕ next to a section to add tasks directly there.

  • Add more sections if you want to organise things like:

    • Must dos

    • Nice to haves

    • Urgent / Later

Tasks are fully customisable too.

🛠️ You can:

  • Add subtasks (manually or hit Generate with AI for ideas)

  • Attach files, set deadlines, and durations


2. Prioritise Your Tasks

Drag and drop tasks between sections to sort the essentials from the fluff.

  • Hold down to move items around

  • Rename sections by tapping their titles

  • We recommend locking in your top 3 priorities — anything more is a bonus


3. Build Your Day

Now head to the Timeline tab.

  • Tap a timeblock to schedule a task

  • Or switch to the Tasks tab to drop in items from your list

  • You can also add meals, breaks, or free time — your day, your rules

    In seconds, you’ll have your first visual schedule ready to go.


⏳ Pro tip: You can customise timeblock length and time format from the main menu.


4. Lock In Focus Time

Once your first task hits the current time, it lights up blue — that’s your cue:

🚨 This is the ONLY thing you should be doing right now. Everything else can wait.

Now tap the App Blocker icon to shut out distractions.


Or tap a task → hit Focus → set your duration → start the timer.

🧘‍♂️ Choose a focus sound if that helps you concentrate. (Just tap the 🔊 icon)

If you finish early, Yoodoo will ask if you want to start the next task — your call.

⚠️ Stick to your start and end times! That’s the secret to timeblocking.
Unfinished tasks? No worries — they’ll stay right where you left them.

5. Reschedule & Repeat

At the end of your day (or whenever you're ready), Yoodoo will prompt you to reschedule any missed tasks.

  • Tap the status bar to trigger it manually

  • By default, incomplete tasks roll over to the same time tomorrow

  • Uncheck any you want to ignore

Tap Continue, and boom — your next day is already taking shape.

💡 Final Notes

  • You can keep going and add more tasks, or call it a day.

  • Tomorrow, just repeat the process.

  • Your incomplete tasks will still be on the list, so nothing gets lost.

Timeblocking is about working with your brain — not against it.
Start small. Stay consistent. Your future self will thank you.
