We only have 168 hours/week
Have you ever thought about the fact that we have only 168 hours to use each week?
We have no more than 24 * 7 hours/week, no matter how much we wish we did.
We have no fewer than 24 * 7 hours/week, and somehow spend the full number of hours every week on a variety of activities, even if we don’t consciously realize what.
Have you ever stopped to consider how you actually spend your 168 hours each week, or how you wish you spent your weekly allotment of hours?
Taking a moment to write down the activities that take up your 168 hours is a one of the easiest and most powerful self reflection exercises you can do. The trouble is, before now you probably never actually bothered to think of it.
Planning your weekly schedule from 9 am to 5 pm is probably something you have done many times throughout the years for school/work. Yet, the act of taking a magnifying glass to the full range of activities you do each week (not only those you must schedule such as work/school/planned events) is a task that likely feels unneeded and stressful just to think about.
