Start from Example of weekly plan, then duplicate this template for each day. There is no need to use a database, it’s a simple journal, but if you want to use one, I recommend turning this page into a database template.

If you have an account that supports timeline view, I recommend using it to drag blocks. Rearrange blocks over the course of the day as life happens and it's rare that things go according to plan. But that's ok. As Cal puts it, at least we have awareness and some control of how we spend our time. Don’t schedule back to back but buffer some transition time!
Pro Tip: if you use Notion Calendar, you can add the “Daily Plan” database and see this in the Calendar - click on the Open in Calendar button below.

Switch them with those that are meaningful to you. You can associate them with any time block above and the table below and will calculate how you did. I added a chart - however this feature is still a bit limited and doesn’t allow the proper Y axis scale for the Gap from goal field, which is what we want to track.

Cal Newport recommends a last look at the calendar to make sure you make note of things that need to wait, or new things that came up, run your metrics, and finally check the box. It will give you peace of mind and a sense of closure that can help disconnect from work. I like to use a gratitude and forgiveness thought.
