TMPP Episode 2: Mapping Your Week

Time Management & Productivity Podcast Episode 2: Mapping Your WeekIn this week’s episode we take a look at how you spend the 168 hours we each have every week. I rarely meet anyone who doesn’t complain that there aren’t enough hours in the day but the simple truth is there will never be any more than 24 hours each day. So rather than wish for more time, I take you through an exercise that shows you where you are spending some large chunks of time each day and where some “extra” time may be hiding.

This exercise involves “mapping your week” on a worksheet to give you a visual of where you are spending your time. This is not meant to be a minute by minute account of your week, but rather a general indication of how your time is divided between work, sleep, and other routine activities.
