Where do your 168 hours go?
Everyone has 168 hours a week. Enter how you spend yours below and see how many are left over. Most people find 20 to 40 free hours a week once sleep and work are counted, and the question is whether those hours have a plan.
How to use the number
- Left over is not wasted. It is unplanned. Give some of it a job: training, a side project, reading.
- Look at the biggest bar first. Phone time is usually the easiest to cut.
- Do a real audit for a week. Track blocks as they happen and compare with your guess. See time audit.
Questions
How many free hours does the average person have?
It varies a lot. A full-time worker who sleeps 8 hours and commutes still often has 30 or more hours a week outside work, sleep and chores.
