Create Your Schedule

Overview: Every week we start a fresh slate of 168 hours to work with (7 X 24 = 168). In this section record all of your "Fixed" tasks along with total estimated time for each task listed over the next 7 days. Fixed-hour Tasks: Tasks you know you have to do or are routine things that you know you will be doing during the week (e.g., eating, sleeping, appointments, working out, etc.)

Now that fixed tasks have been recorded, you have a total number of hours of spare time. In the section below, record what types of activities/goals you'd like to work on in your spare time. Break it out by what percent of your spare time you'd like to dedicate to each spare-time activity. ** Pro-tip: While working with your spare time activities, including free time (e.g., watch TV, Social Media, etc...) is helpful to include to provide a buffer to the realistic nature of life and being human. 🙂

Review your fixed-hour tasks and see if any need to be added to your calendar of choice. Next, go through each spare-time task, and use the "% to Hours" column to help you figure how many hours you will need to schedule for each task in your calendar.
