Even though it works for some people, I personally do not use it.
Some people tend to create whole update schedules fixing time periods for giving time to their stories in order to cope with writer's block.
I don't really see how it helps but many people claim that it does so I am including it in here as well. Though to be honest, it has hardly ever worked for me.
Update schedules are made as follows:
Monday - 10:00 to 12:00 - story A, 01:00 to 03:00 - story B and so on and so on.
The process continues in the same way until you have a full outline of which story to write in what time. In that case you are able to manage your time and also take some time out for stories.
Set a personal dateline – some authors work better under pressure, some don't. Change your dateline according to your comfort level. Time is a very important factor, regardless you're within a dateline or not.
Always start early, prepare yourself sufficiently and this should minimize any obstacles you may find. Commit yourself to achieving a word count, not writing for a certain amount of time. Aim for your optimum number of words, double it if you feel good. Otherwise, just aim for your minimum.
***
I do admit it is great for time management but I don't really see how you can write without inspiration. Inspiration comes in the most unexpected of times so setting a specific time for a specific story might help or it might not be of any use.
It all depends upon the inspiration.
