Description
If 24 hours a day is not enough for you, our Simple Time Audit Template offers you a clear and simple way to visualize where your time goes, helping you to identify and reduce activities that do not contribute to your goals. The template allows you to set one main activity, your “one thing”, and shows you the time needed to master it. This is based on Malcolm Gladwell’s principle that 1000 hours are needed to become an expert in any one thing.
Whether you want to play a musical instrument, master a new language, start a business or develop a new skill, this tool will help you visualize exactly where your time goes, and calculate how many hours you would need to dedicate to achieve mastery in your one thing.
It’ll also show you exactly when you’ll achieve mastery.
This is ideal for those who are looking to optimize how they spend their day, so they have more hours available to dedicate to their “one thing”.
