Make the most of our 168 hours each week from "summary" of 168 Hours by Laura Vanderkam
We all have the same amount of time each week - 168 hours. It's a finite resource that we can't create more of, no matter how hard we try. We often hear people say they "don't have time" for certain activities, whether it's exercising, spending time with loved ones, or pursuing a hobby. But the truth is, we all have the same amount of time - it's just a matter of how we choose to use it. When we truly think about how we spend our 168 hours each week, we might be surprised by how much time we actually have available for the things that are important to us. It's easy to get caught up in the busyness of life - work, commuting, household chores, and other obligations can take up a lot of our time. But if we take a closer look at how we spend our time, we might find that we have more flexibility than we realize. One of the key principles of making the most of our 168 hours each week is to prioritize our time based on what truly matters to us. By identifying our core values and goals, we can align our time with activities that bring us joy, fulfillment, and a sense of purpose. This might mean cutting back on time-wasting activities like mindlessly scrolling through social media or watching TV, and instead dedicating more time to activities that align with our values. Another important aspect of making the most of our time is to be intentional about how we schedule our days. By planning our days in advance and setting specific goals and priorities, we can ensure that we allocate our time in a way that aligns with our values and goals. This might mean setting aside dedicated time for exercise, spending quality time with loved ones, or working on a passion project.- Making the most of our 168 hours each week is about being mindful of how we choose to spend our time. By being intentional, prioritizing our values, and planning our days with purpose, we can ensure that we make the most of our limited time on this earth.
