This two-page worksheet gathers practical time-management suggestions into four parts: scheduling your time, how much of your week goes to what, communication, and a short miscellaneous note. It opens with a brief awareness prompt, asking you to notice why you chose this topic, how your belly, chest, and head each feel when you reflect on it, and when you could apply more mindfulness to it in daily life. Its scheduling steps assume you have an assistant, so take what fits your own work.

What the worksheet covers
- Part I, Scheduling your time: go over the coming week’s schedule each Friday, keep 50% of your time protected for the rest of your job, approve meeting requests before they are booked, and confirm appointments the day before.
- Part II, How much of what: set a maximum amount of working time each week, handle breakdowns by canceling activities instead of adding hours, and work toward 15% planning, 15% administrative activities, 50% appointments and meetings, and 20% addressing breakdowns. Review your time each week and keep correcting the schedule.
- Part III, Communication: stay on top of major milestones, deal only with breakdowns that stop people in their tracks, ask for “F.Y.I.” information through lower-priority channels, and link people together instead of acting as a go-between.
- Part IV, Miscellaneous: bring your lunch to work so healthy food is on hand.
The worksheet closes with one question: how will you take what you learned forward into your life?
