Where Does Your Time Go?

What does the way you use your time reveal about what you value?

Review My Values

The goal is not a perfect schedule.

Use this as an honest comparison between what you say you value and how you actually use your time.

HOW TO COMPLETE THE AUDIT

One day, one week, compare.

01
One Day
Choose one typical day and estimate the hours you spend in each category. Your day should total 24 hours.
02
One Week
Calculate or estimate a full week. Adjust for weekends and activities that do not happen every day. Your week should total 168 hours.
03
Compare
Compare your actual use of time with the values you identified in the Values Exercise.

ONE DAY → ONE WEEK

Start with a typical day. Build the full week.

Saved to your account

Activity	Hours / day	Hours / week	% of week
Total	0	0	0%

Quick checks: Day = 24 hours · Week = 168 hours · Hours / week ÷ 168 = % of week. Do not simply multiply every daily number by 7—adjust for weekends and activities that happen only on certain days.

ALIGN YOUR TIME WITH WHAT YOU VALUE

Reflect without guilt.

Use your day-and-week audit as a diagnostic tool—not a guilt exercise. Look for patterns, alignment, and one faithful adjustment.

What surprised me about where my time actually goes?

What does my schedule suggest that I actually value?

Compare this audit with my Values Statement. Where are they aligned? Where are they out of alignment?

What is one change I can make so that my time better reflects what God has called me to value?

BRING IT BACK TO THE FRAMEWORK

BEWho am I?

What truth about my identity in Christ do I need to remember?

KNOWWhat is true?

What has eternal value, and which of my values should guide my time?

DOWhat should I do?

What is one decision I can make this week to bring my calendar into greater alignment?
