The Hour Audit

The Hour Audit

Before you decide you don't have the time to start a business, map it out.

I stopped trying to manufacture hours and started protecting the ones I already had. Because once you see those hours on the calendar, starting a business starts to feel waaaay less like a pipe dream.

1. The donation you keep making

You are looking for 60 to 90 minutes on a weekday. It might come from your job (logging on early, the lunch break you never take) or from you (the morning scroll). Both count.

2. A job for every weekday

Time with no job assigned becomes scrolling. Decide now so you are not deciding at 7am. If you are just starting out, almost all of this should go to making content.

3. The block that moves things

Weekday time keeps the lights on. Nothing new gets built in a 90 minute window. You need one stretch of four consecutive hours, and you have to hold it. So if Sunday brunch is sacred, do not put it at Sunday 11 to 3.

My week has a job

Monday to Friday, 60 to 90 minutes a day

Screenshot this. Put it where you will see it Monday morning.

Run it for two weeks, then change what is not working. You are building a routine, not getting it perfect.

Hit reply on the email and tell me what you got. I read them.
