When someone says “I’m too busy” it just means that what they are asked to do is not a priority to them. There are 168 hours in a week.
- 8 hours a day sleeping = 112 hours / week.
- 8 hours a day working = 56 hours per week.
- 1 hour a day doing housework (cooking, cleaning etc) = 49 hours per week
- 2 hours per day for sports (if you have kids) 35 hours per week.
Make it a priority. When you track where you are spending your time on useless activities, you can make time for things that are important.
One exercise I do with my kids is enable the screen time feature on their iPhone and console gaming systems. I show them objectively how much time they are spending on these activities, and ask them if they spent event 15 min of that time practicing their sport (hockey / baseball / training) how much they think they would improve at their favorite activity.
