Calendars are hard to consistently use. I have no idea how they've been so successful through the years.

The lock/key is from my phone's keyboard (swiftkey) which automatically chooses an emoticon if it matches the word, by the time it posted i didn't notice.

Basically how I use mine is by compartmentalizing every part of my life and set it on repeat. It makes me suuuuper productive, especially partnered with Wunderlist.

Still need to add "Homework" and "Watch Hannibal" in there.

I am thinking about starting to block out my time in half hour or hour long increments and devote each to a task or activity or whatever. How do you find this works for you?

Pretty well, as long as I stick to it. Once you get into a rhythm, it becomes second-nature. No room for excuses, and I find that I'm the type of person that needs everything planned out, or I'll end up doing nothing.

I procrastinate/"stretch available work to fill allotted time" and I am trying to get better at that. AKA do things right away even if I know I could start three days later and finish in time.

I use mine primarily to remember when and where I have meetings, when which homework assignment is due, and when I have tests. I also keep track of which concerts I'm going to in the same calendar .

I don't go quite as hard as 8bit in the calendar life, but I can see how that could be beneficial.
