Time Blocking Technique for SSC Preparation
– Abhinay Maths Blog
“Success doesn’t come from what you do occasionally. It comes from what you do consistently.”
Are you struggling with time management during your SSC preparation?
You're not alone.
Many aspirants feel overwhelmed with multiple subjects, endless mock tests, and revision pressure. Even after studying all day, it often feels like nothing is truly done. If this sounds like you, it’s time to stop random studying and use a powerful productivity method: Time Blocking.
What is Time Blocking?
Time blocking is a planning method where you divide your day into blocks of time, and each block is dedicated to a specific task or subject. Instead of saying “I’ll study tomorrow,” you say:
“I’ll study Arithmetic from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM.”
This gives you:
-
Clarity on what to study and when
-
Focus without multitasking
-
Discipline to stick to a routine
-
And most importantly – Better Retention
Why SSC Aspirants Should Use Time Blocking
-
You have limited time but a vast syllabus
-
You need to balance between concept building, practice, and revision
-
You often get distracted by phones, notifications, and fatigue
-
You want to make the most of your productive hours
Time blocking is not about being busy all day. It’s about being intentionally productive for fewer, focused hours.

Start small – even blocking 4–5 hours a day is great in the beginning
-
Don’t overfill – leave room for breaks and buffer time
-
Use alarms/reminders to stay on track
-
Be flexible – if you miss a block, reschedule instead of quitting
-
Review your routine every Sunday and adjust as needed
