The blocks on the cheat sheet start from 5am up to 12pm. This doesn’t mean trying to sleep less in order to have more time during your waking hours. Making sure you get the sleep you need, will have a profound impact on your motivation and how you feel during the day. However, if you wake up later than this or go to bed earlier – you will need to block off your sleep time as your first step.
Next, think about any unavoidable, daily tasks you already do. Cooking, eating, commuting, etc. For each of these tasks, estimate the time you usually spend on them and what time they usually happen during the day. On your cheat sheet, block out the time of day and the length of time each of these tasks take over the week.
There are certain tasks you my not enjoy, but are a necessary and recurring part of life. (The boring necessities!). Things like washing, ironing, tidying the house etc. all take up our valuable time.
On the Recurring Task section on the cheat sheet, write your list of these tasks and put the time you usually spend on them. Don’t block them out as yet. Lets focus on your priorities and enjoyment first. Those are the good bits!
