The time-blocking system you tried to build in Notion, already built.
Plan your week in blocks. Navilife records every status change as you work, then shows you the week you planned next to the week you actually had. No templates, no databases to configure, no Sunday afternoon lost to setup.

Plan the week in blocks
Drag across the calendar to make a block. Resize it, move it, push it to tomorrow. That is the whole setup.
Every change is logged
Start a task, finish it, put it back — each transition is timestamped automatically. You never fill in a timesheet.
See planned against actual
One screen puts the week you intended next to the week you had, including which hours you actually deliver in.
Review it on Sunday
Last week in numbers, what slipped, and the intentions you set — waiting for you the following week.
Why not just use Notion?
You can build most of this in Notion. People do, and then spend more time maintaining the system than working inside it. The part that is genuinely hard to build there is the one that matters most: an honest record of what happened, captured without you having to log anything. That record is what Navilife is built around.
