When do you prepare food and eat ? How about showering, do your make-up, go to the bathroom ? There are a lot of things that take time in a day. If you have kids, then you have to dress them, take them to school, or whatever you need to take them to. If you have a health problem, a chronic illness, then you hours of sleep will not be enough, and everything will be hard. But even for a person that is healthy, there are a lot of tiny things that take up a lot of time, you end up with a day that is work, going from a place to another, and make sure your kids are at least alive :))) .

Getting ready for work, commuting, and doing basic necessities such as showering, cooking, tending to family and house take up a lot of time as well. Life should be more than this.

Empty nester here who works 8-5 and wakes up at 6 every morning - sleep around 10:30-22. I'm also fortunate to have a short commute, but let's be real. Those free blocks of time cannot be spent on "enjoyable activities" as though we're in la la land, when there is more work to be done. Free time is spent taking care of a fur-baby, the house, groceries, checking in with the kids, and a thousand other things that are part of normal life. Before this, there were kids to raise and there are NO blocks of time available in a day for anything when you have kids. Things DO bleed into the next and some lecture by a man who would have probably collapsed at a regular person's daily To-Do list is not going to solve the fight for time.

The premise for success presented automatically excludes anyone with neurodivergence, disability, health challenges, or even simply children, from the category of high performers. The idea that structuring one’s schedule intentionally is the only thing standing in the way of their greatness is demoralizing. Saying that it’s ‘just a decision’ is naive at best.

I think I'm a new fan just with this video, however, I have to push back a little. 1) It's good that your graph was 9-6. I don't know anyone who works 9-5. That went out in the 70's. 2) If you merely add meal prep/eat/cleanup/grocery shopping to that, you are talking about another 2 hours a day and that is if you are supremely efficient. Throw in laundry, house maintenance, and bills/paperwork and you've got another hour (being ridiculously conservative here). 3) Friends/family/barest social connections eat up at least another hour (again being stupidly conservative here). I'm leaving out a lot of other imperatives of life but I think this gets us at 21 hours and not giving us any buffers to work with and I'm leaving out that I'm on call for work 24 hours a day, non-negotiable and non-compensated. My insides are also screaming that I'm being way too generous for this argument and leaving out whole areas of life that need attending. For instance in order to keep my wage slave job I have to study outside of work just to remain competent to stay competitive and keep the job. Side hustle? Hobbies? Bwahahahahahahhahaha! The only thing that keeps me from losing my buttons completely is taking a deep breath and acknowledging that I am in an impossible situation, so, stop, center myself, how can I optimize? What is the best I can do at this moment in time? This is the only thing that keeps me from collapsing into overwhelm. And yet here I am stealing time from all of the above perseverating and gnawing on this bone feeling like there has to be a better way. The Eisenhower matrix is inadequate. Atomic Habits not enough, systems based productivity inadequate and not large enough in scope. My intuition is that there is a mental framing I'm missing and need. I'm expecting too much out of the scant moments available for the Deep Work and moving the needle forward. Can't wait to see your other content. I have a feeling you have some good perspectives.

Let me tell you this, blaming yourself for why you are not a "high achiever", not able to switch work mode to life mode like a robot, etc is stupid. If you have 8 hours of sleep, work takes up half your day. You need to prepare food, take care of your household, maybe family, take a shower, organize social events and all of it, IT IS TOO MUCH. Sure some people manage better than others, that doesn't mean the system isn't f*cked or we all should turn ourselves into robots. stay safe and protect your mental health, at. all. costs.

I wouldn't consider a full 24 hours fair game for productivity because you do have to sleep so I would look at it from how many hours awake, I spending on work...the pre mise still stands...it just is more realistic

I AGREE....I also believe MANY of us have moreeeee responsibilities than others so the time between wake and work or work and sleep is VERY NARROW. I a productive seeking person at heart.....but homework, unpredictability of whining and illness (from the children, not me HA!) amongst other things, slows me down. When my children are at school I work as fast I can to get things done but I hardly ever finish. I have decide this school year I have to get comfortable with things carrying over to the next day so that I can begin to get more rest at night.

For those with kids I totally get the periodic overwhelm but without social media and TV etc generally we find more time and energy...furthermore teaching your kids to set and clear the table and chores means the mom isn't constantly losing time on repetitive tasks. I have 4 kids and work for myself. My husband travels 2 weeks per month so I know what it is to juggle but my kids and I tackle chores and cooking as a team. There are times especially when someone's sick that it feels too much but that's just life. I will however say the type of job changes everything - I personal train so my hours are that bit more flexible, actually that could be the key to finding the balance. I hope everyone finds some balance x

Time cannot be taken away from you - if you're a middle class Edwardian man with a wife & zero responsibilities within your home & to your children. This was a piece of social hygiene propaganda written in the lead up to WWI. A time where women were literal property & men still benefited from the ownership of slaves. But also atime where social change was beginning to be thought about & men like this were concerned that their status was under threat - not just by women & black men but by the lower classes. & I think this is the point you've missed. While you still value the work of early 20th century men the rest of the world has moved on. It's your values that tell you your time is being wasted doing the things those you don't value do - a pretty short way of understanding social hygiene. You've not it seems thought for a moment why a book written for the Edwardian man was so attractive to you.

I so love this! I have been doing this for 2 years. I wanted to figure out how to get more done. I wanted to find more time in my day to start meditation and practicing mindfulness so I created a schedule. I was so strict at first, but now that these habits have become part of who I am now I can be a little less rigid.

I just read the book because of this video (it's on Audible and Libby). Even though it was written by a man 100 years ago, just take whatever is useful for you and your individual situation. For me (I don't have kids), I will start following his advice of 7.5 hours a week for "cultivating the mind." He proposes 30 minutes in the morning (while commuting) and 1.5 hours in the evening, three times a week. He said to start slowly but consistently and adjust as necessary. I guess that's what's missing in the video; he didn't propose to have this schedule all 7 days a week. You still have admin things to do (laundry, cooking, cleaning, friends, etc.).

Thank you Amy. I love this idea and I would love for you to address how intention can be overtaken by the kids. I like the idea of focusing on family during family time, but during productive time, they get sick or they don't sleep or their fighting or otherwise interrupt your creative or work time. How do you balance being flexible about intention with the frustration of scrapping a plan?

The day has 24 h. 1/3 should be for sleep. 1/3 is for work. The last 1/3 is spent on getting ready for work, getting to work, the break you have at work, coming back from work and then also cooking, eating, doing housework, running errands, taking care of others in case you have kids, getting ready for bed, etc. Yes, you could meal prep, but maybe you wanna eat something freshly cooked. You do not need to clean every single day but there is always some chore to do, maybe grocery shopping or running some errands. Maybe there is someone who is dependent on you. Maybe your job is so tremendously draining that you really have no energy for anything. Maybe you need a second job to survive. Shift work ruins a person's sleeping schedule and if you are not well rested, then well, the rest of the day might not be as good. I am not sure if this is the book I read about, but I think it was written for rich, white men. They can spend that 1/3 of their time doing whatever they want while the wife is the one doing everything else. Anyway, maybe people should be paid fair wages so they do not have to stress about the bare necessities. 5-6 h/day, 4 d/week are enough.

Will work on my routine, thanks for this video which I'm watching at 3:55 AM! Make a video on sleep scheduling, that blue box is the issue which hinders everything the next day.

I think the reason why people want to have 'more time' is because whatever they want to do next, they slowly dive into it intending to dive deep, but because they dive so slowly the time period for it ends when they have barely reached the wanted deeps. So the question is, how to dive deep fast? For example, school. You have 1,5 hours classes and the first minutes may it be 5, 10, 15 minutes you have to remember and connect new information to what you know and only after that you can 'join in' and learn something new.

From over all every person is saying the same thing and I am a big stickler about the comments and opinions and beliefs that NO I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME. When IN FACT - YOUR CHOICES brought YOU to this point. Are you going to keep making the same choices? For example 1. You decided to have kids before you had a sleep schedule under control. 2. You decided to have kids before you had the income to afford help for your chores. Are you doing the work to change or not? Life is not easy for anyone. But it’s all about what YOU CHOOSE.

I get this and seems nice however I work 6am to 6pm and hour commute to work each way. Going to bed at 10 and getting up at 4 I already do this and I’m tired as heck, get home at 7 and I have to cook dinner, walk dog, spent time with family before bed , the only time I get to relax is when I’m sleeping unless I remove those things and relax after work. We work too much , it’s not meant to be that way

Arnold Bennett such an interesting character, writing for "Women" magazine, which promoted women's right to vote. Then following separation from his wife, he had a daughter with a mistress/girlfriend who continued her career as actor and producer. But based on some presumptuous comments you wouldn't know that about him. 🧐

No dates, forget about that much needed intimacy. We are high achievers, all work no play for 9 to 5 workers. This makes sense I’m just lazy and full of excuses 😅

Haha. 8 hours of work is actually an average of 10 if you include pre time, commute, lunch hr, more commute time, and minimum prep for the next day. That is just if you are a peon. If you have any responsibilities above and beyond, your work day is even longer. No one I know only works 9 to 5.

I did not realize in what manner intentional I am alongside time until I stopped following the schedule I made myself - I was then lethargic, depressed, got naught done. When I went back toward following the blocked time I was productive, joyous and found myself enjoying everything in mine life more. I do mine hobbies more, I intentionally work on mine work more> I spend more loving time alongside mine family and enjoying mine life.

Oir bodies need sleep to function for work and home life. Because sleep is manadatory for function it should be taken out of the time equation. 8 hrs of sleep and 16 hrs for the rest of the day means working for ONE THIRD of that 16 hours. It should NOT be one third of 24 hrs. The workday should be 5 hrs and 20 min. This amount of work time can easily equal the normal work day in productivity if people were actually getting adequate breaks and sleep. Pay should stay the same as a normal day especially if more productivity occurs. Work culture needs to change.

I've read Bennett's book, and I get his point - we do have some time that we could use to learn something to elevate ourselves, but we don't. And, we argue for the notion that we absolutely don't, rather than get curious about how we might. So yeah, I agree, for all of the reasons Bennett's ideas are revealing his gender and class and racial privilege, he (unlike all the other folks who shared those same privileges in that time), has some important insights for us in the current epoch ❤

We aren’t all given the same opportunities and assets to make the same use of same 24 hours and I think the genuinely useful things that can be taken from this are kind of drowned out by a rather judgey attitude about what people should be doing.
