“I’m guessing you’ll find the same thing as well. So after you’ve tracked your time, try creating your own realistic ideal week—one that acknowledges your responsibilities, but shows you at your best. Pull out a blank calendar (I’d suggest a spreadsheet with all 168 hours of the week). Put in what you’d like your week to look like. Ask yourself: When would you wake up on various days? What would you do in the mornings? When would you work? What would you like your workdays to look like? How about your weekday evenings? What would you do during a realistic, ideal weekend?”
