# Where do your 168 hours go?

URL: https://gocutline.com/tools/time-audit/

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](https://gocutline.com/glossary/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.
