Project #39 – Time Budget (Review)

Like many, a typical week for me is atypical.  For instance, this week started with me waking up in Niagara Falls (Buffalo), NY and ends with me in Columbus, OH, with a number of days in NYC in between.  I created a time spreadsheet to track how I spent the 168 hours of my week, and it’s interesting to see where the hours actually went.

The key now, like any budget, is to align my goals to where I’m actually spending my resources.  Considering I possibly want to get more into writing, the fact I only spent 45 minutes on it this week, for less than 1% of the week, is a problem.  But, with a system to track my time now, and a way to visually see the results, I can make adjustments from week to week.  We’ll see how things go a month from now to see if it things get better.
