Time Blocking

I love both Timepage and Actions, but I am really missing a visual representation of my time as time blocks proportional to amount of time scheduled. This would help identify overlap and visually see where we have open space in our schedules. It would be great if we could take tasks from actions and then assign them as time blocks on our calendar. If we could assign events to categories, ideally that correspond with those in Actions it would be a great way to sort or tally time on a project.

Visual of time blocks

I need to be able to see how I have my events spread throughout a 24 hour period (including the length of each in relation). It is currently very inconvenient to figure out "where" I have enough free time to fit something else into my schedule. I am stuck using TWO calendars-I use another app completely to plan everything. What good is a calendar that doesn't accommodate easy scheduling? I don't think anything in the current version needs to be changed; I would really appreciate the addition of a button or specific swipe-action that takes the user to a "planning view" to add new events... What would be REALLY great? From single-day view, rotate your phone to landscape and the simple list is now time-blocks on a 3-day-wide, 10-hour-long SCHEDULE VIEW! With scrolling, of course: up and down to view the other 14 hours of the day and side to side to move through days of the week. I'm exciting myself. PLEASE! And thank you.

Amen to this.

Yeah even as an option it would be cool

I just want to add that this might be overlapping with “Weekly overview like Calendar”, and this proposal would probably fit in better with the current TimePage design — I just want to replace the “agenda” / list view of events with something more spatial that indicates how long the events last and how much time I have between events. I’d be happy with either of these features though, and I really can’t use this app without it. It’s beautiful, but it’s “form” at the expense of function.

Can I vote for this more than just once? Building on what you suggested of taking tasks from actions and putting them into the calendar, it drives me slightly crazy that I have to make two separate events if I want to show a time for one of the actions. Take for example a dentist appointment. I have it in Actions to remind me, and that shows up on my Timepage as well, but why can't they be linked so I can put the time in Actions and it automatically blocks on Timepage?

Yes; exactly this plus the ability to assign Actions to those open blocks of time would be great.

Seconded. As a highly spacial person, one of my biggest use-cases is quickly peeping a calendar for negative space so that I can glimpse the free time in my day/week. It's one thing Outlook does well. Events in Timepage carry the same visual weight, and therefor it's hard to discern between, say, a block of three 10-minute events spanning a half hour and 3 2-hour events at wildly different times of the day.

I believe the beauty of Moleskine’s 2-page per day format will be best represented with one page as a day long schedule view, and the facing page is available for graphics, notes, doodles, similar to the DayTimer 2-page per day format. And the user can flip between these pages with a flip page motion similar to the kindle. Thank you!
