Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- If you asked me where my week actually went I’d just guess
- I feel busy from the moment I wake up to the moment I crash, but if you asked me where the hours actually went I genuinely couldn’t tell you
- I feel slammed all day yet at night I can’t point to where the hours actually went
- I lie in bed for eight or nine hours and only actually sleep five of them, and the rest is just me staring at the ceiling
- I swear I have no time for anything, yet somehow I just lost forty minutes to my phone without noticing

Laura Vanderkam argues that most people do not have a time shortage but a time-awareness problem: they underestimate how much discretionary time exists in 168 weekly hours.

The method is straightforward; the hard part is using what you find. - Map your actual week to the four quadrants
