Five questions

Where your working week actually goes.

Move each slider to the number of hours per week that feels honest. There is no right answer. The lower the better for these particular tasks.

01 Meeting prep

0h / wk

Agendas, pre-reads, background notes, slides, talking points.

Honest check: if you know you should be doing more of this, use what it would honestly take rather than what you currently spend.

02 Recurring reports

0h / wk

Weekly status updates, monthly reports, client updates, project summaries.

Honest check: count the version where they are actually good rather than the rushed copy-paste you send at 9pm.

03 Inbox and message triage

0h / wk

The triage, the sorting, the acknowledgements. Leave out the deep replies.

04 Summarising information

0h / wk

Research syntheses, desk research, competitive scans, meeting notes into action lists.

Honest check: if you keep skipping this because there is no time, add the hours it would take to do it properly.

05 Scheduled admin

0h / wk

The parts of your job that are the same every week. Invoicing, timesheets, expenses, scheduling, data entry.
