Where do your 168 hours go?
Everyone gets the same 168 hours a week. Estimate how yours are spent across ten categories and watch the real shape of your time appear — usually a little different from how it feels. No scores, no judgment: just a clearer mirror.
You'll enter your best estimate of hours per week for each category. Don't aim for perfection — even rough numbers reveal the shape. The breakdown and a few honest observations update live as you type. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere.
Your week, by share of time
What stands out
A mirror, not a rulebook. There's no correct way to spend a week, and these notes describe your estimate rather than prescribe how to live — the one exception is sleep, where the ~7–9 hour range is well established. Remember too that people routinely misjudge their own time; for a precise picture, track your actual hours for a week and come back.
About this instrument
What this shows — and what it doesn't

Shows
The shape of your week
How your 168 hours divide across sleep, work, and the rest — as proportions you can actually see. Awareness of where time goes is the first, and often hardest, step to changing it.
-
Method
168-hour allocation
Enter estimated weekly hours across ten categories. A live tally keeps you to 168, a ranked breakdown shows each as a share of the week, and a few observations surface what stands out.

Gives
Honest observations
Descriptive notes on your biggest blocks and discretionary time, plus one evidence-based flag on sleep. No score, no ranking against others, no "ideal week" imposed on you.

Limits
Honest limits
These are estimates, and people misjudge their time badly — usually overestimating work and underestimating screens. It's a mirror for reflection, not a tracked log or a productivity verdict.
Questions
Before you begin
What is a time audit?
A time audit is a simple accounting of how you spend the 168 hours in a week. You estimate your hours across categories like sleep, work, commuting, and leisure, and the totals reveal the real shape of your time — often quite different from how it feels day to day.
How accurate are my estimates?
Probably less than you'd think — people are famously bad at estimating their own time, usually overestimating work and underestimating screens. That's fine: even a rough estimate reveals the overall shape. For a precise picture, track your actual hours for a week and come back.
Does this tell me how I should spend my time?
No. There's no correct allocation, and the observations are descriptive, not prescriptive — the one exception is sleep, where the ~7–9 hour range is well established. Beyond that, this is a mirror, not a rulebook. What a good week looks like is entirely yours to decide.
Is my data saved anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your entries never leave your device and nothing is stored or sent to a server. Refreshing the page clears everything.
