So fascinating how we spend our time. I completed my 2024 reflection (not as granular) but typically very helpful when planning and looking ahead.

@omdg – I do feel, on some level, like it’s “enough.” I wrote most of a book. I ran/co-ran two podcasts (including a daily one). I gave multiple speeches, did a daily newsletter, did a lot of general promotional stuff. But I have lots of ideas and they do take time to execute. And sometimes I come up with better ideas when I don’t just go with the first one because I have a little more time to think about it. My goal for the next year is not necessarily to work >32 hours/week, but to make sure that more of those hours are done in good solid chunks, so I don’t feel quite so fragmented. And yes, outside certain circumstances, most people claiming to work 70 hours a week…do not. Or they did once. But it isn’t typical.

@Yukun – oh, there was definitely a lot of scrolling. But I did fit a fair amount in too. A week can contain a lot.

I try to keep that in mind when someone tells me that they work 70 hours per week. 32 hours per week seems perfectly respectable.
