The Pomodoro technique

Twenty-five minutes on one task, five off, four times, then a longer break. Estimates, Quick wins and the Day calendar make the bursts visible.

Study plan

Weekly study blocks, revision and exam dates for a course or certification.

Also worth a look: Time blocking with estimates

Give tasks an estimate and a time, and the Day and Week calendars show whether your plan actually fits.
