Perception of Time
Time is elastic, expanding or contracting based on our engagement and attention.
By being fully present and invested in our activities, we can create the sensation of having more time.
The 168 Hours Rule
Everyone has the same 168 hours in a week.
By planning our weeks rather than our days, we can ensure that we are spending our time on what matters most.
Leveraging Time
We can leverage our time by outsourcing tasks that don’t bring us joy or value.
This can free up time for more meaningful activities.
Time and Energy
Our energy levels fluctuate throughout the day.
By understanding our energy patterns, we can schedule tasks for when we are most productive.
