Step 1: Set Your Reality Check
Be brutally honest. Include lunch, breaks, life interruptions.
How many days you actually work, not how many you think you should.
If you say 8 but get 6 hours of real work, put 6.
Total Weekly Hours: 30 hours
Step 2: List Your Activities
Add every recurring work activity. Be honest about time - round up, not down.

Your Activities
Priority Guide
🔥 High Priority
Moves the Needle
- • Directly generates revenue
- • Builds audience/reputation
- • Creates time-saving systems
⚡ Medium Priority
Important but Not Game-Changing
- • Necessary but indirect
- • Could be batched
- • Email, admin, networking
💨 Low Priority
First to Cut
- • Feels productive but isn't
- • No 30-day impact if gone
- • Most social media, tweaking
The test: If this activity vanished, would your business suffer in 30 days? If not, it's probably low priority.
