How is your time allocated?

December 14, 2008

in simplifying & reducing

I’ve been all over the place this week, not sticking to my schedule, procrastinating like you wouldn’t believe and I’ve left myself with a big workload to complete over the next week. This led to thinking about how my time is used. On a work day, 5 days a week, this is how I think my day should be allocated and this is what I’m working towards from now on.

34% Work – 9 hours
29% Sleep – 7 hours
13% Family/Home
12% Business/Internet
8% Travel
4% Me/Beauty routine etc (lol)

If I stuck to this plan it would have two benefits. Firstly I would get much more sleep and secondly I would have 2 whole days free every week, instead of having to do work catch up!

Does anyone else plan their time down to the last minute?

Wow – that’s quite scary when you look at it – my internet one would be the highest probably.. :-)

Oh to have two whole days to fill as we liked.. Yeah I’m dreaming too!

Great idea! I don’t but I need to. Since I started blogging, I have spent way more time online than ever…

I don’t but I should! I would probably spend too much time at work and online.

I had the last two weeks all planned out so I could start Christmas week with everything done. A nasty virus put paid to that and after one day of fretting I have decided that it is not worth worrying over.

I try to, but it doesn’t always work out that way. You know, kids fussy, need something… etc. Like today. It’s good to have a plan though!

I’m a procrastinator too, so I totally understand where you’re coming from. Right now there’s about 10 things on my TO DO list that I should be doing rather than squizzing at interesting blogs…but hey :)

How are you getting on with your plan?
