Everything you've done up to this point is very helpful, but nothing will make a bigger difference in your life than planning your tasks into specific study blocks. Honestly, this will change your life, and that is why most people call Shovel a game-changer. Let's do a quick recap: You have a schedule that will work for you. You know when you can study and for how long. You have every task from every class in one place. You know how long your tasks will take and you know you can get them done on time; you're miles ahead of all your classmates, but you have one problem. Your task list is still disconnected from your calendar, making it more of a wishlist.

You wish you could complete all the tasks in your to-do list and you know you can, but you haven't committed any specific time to get a single task done. So when your study time comes up and you sit down to work, you actually don't know what you'll be working on. And when you do start on something, you'll be stressed thinking about whether you shouldn't be working on something else. But don't worry, you can easily fix this. All you need to do is commit to doing a specific task at a specific time. This will help you truly attack each study block with purpose.

You no longer wish you could get some three random tasks done tomorrow. You know task one is getting done between your first two classes. Task two after lunch, and task three is split between two study blocks, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Just as you would be making a commitment to someone else when you schedule a meeting with them, you're making a commitment to yourself to get a task done at a specific time. You need to treat yourself and your time with respect, and time blocking your tasks will help you do so.

It will help you be fully focused when working because you'll know that you allocated all your other tasks to different study blocks. Not only that, time blocking will also help you fully relax when you're socializing. Knowing all of your tasks have been planned, there is no need to worry. You've created a real actionable study plan. You got it.
