Design Your Ideal Week
The Free 56-Hour Method Ideal Week Template
You have 168 hours this week. Same as me. Same as everyone. The question isn't whether you have enough time. It's whether you're spending it on purpose or reacting to whoever's yelling the loudest. This fillable weekly template, inspired by Chris' new book, The 56-Hour Method, gives you the space to map it out Monday through Sunday. See where your time is actually going, and start designing it on purpose.
How To Use the Weekly Template
56
Block Your Sleep First
Your first job is to protect your sleep hours. Aim for 56 a week, and guard the edges so work and late nights don't creep in. Everything in the book (The 56-Hour Method) starts with protecting this bucket.
56
Add Your Growth Hours
Map in your work, your training, your learning. This is the bucket most people overload. Seeing it on paper is the first step to making it fit instead of overflow.
56
Protect Your Connection Time
Your remaining 56 hours in a week is reserved for your Connection bucket. Relationships, health, the stuff that makes the rest worth it. Block it in on purpose, or watch it disappear.
Start With One Week
You don't need to overhaul your life. You just need to see where your hours are actually going and decide, intentionally, where you want them to go instead. The Ideal Week template is the simplest place to start. One page. Three buckets. Your week, designed.
