Slo · Productivity, Work & Focus

168 Hours

by Laura Vanderkam

Three key ideas

  1. Plan around a full week, not one hard day. Different days can serve different purposes.
  2. Everyone has the same clock hours, but not the same control, resources, health, or demands.
  3. Log how your hours are actually used instead of trusting memory or an ideal plan.

The five 2-minute lessons

  1. 1.Look at the whole week
  2. 2.Look before you judge
  3. 3.Give it a day and a time
  4. 4.Share the load, fairly
  5. 5.A week with room in it

From the comic

Someone I know tried folding the week into Tuesday.
