When you're really busy, the totality of things that need to get done can quickly become an overwhelming, calcified mass, but 144blocks is a simple tool that turns every day into a series of approachable 10-minute increments. Inspired by Tim Urban's 'Wait But Why', the cute, chromatic tool breaks every day down into segments that users can fill in one at a time, breaking even the biggest projects down into bite-sized pieces.
Every day has 1,440 minutes, which can be divided evenly into 144 10-minute blocks (hence 144blocks' name). The tool starts every day off with 144 grey squares representing every 10-minute interval from midnight to midnight, and users fill each one in with their task for that moment.
