Julie Fahrbach: I would like to discuss the results of tracking my time and what automated tasks/templates/tools I could create.

  • Do a 15-minute block time-budgeting exercise for each day of week, filling in the white spaces to clarify your priorities and use it as a tool to set clear boundaries.
  • Clearly identify and name the four most important areas of your life.
  • Map a calendar of your ideal 24/7 week, using only the names of your four plates to allocate time. Then within each plate, define the specific types of tasks or "hats" you wear. 
  • Block focused time for replying to messages to avoid constant context-switching and protect deep work. Use your time budget to spot distractions and say “no” easily.
  • Intentionally schedule and protect dedicated downtime for yourself, especially in the evenings, ensuring it's for personal rejuvenation within your "Health & Wellness" plate.
  • Check out the following resources:
  • Summit 2025 Masterclass - Unlock sustainable productivity by managing time and focus like spinning plates, instead of trying to do everything at once (starts at 00:53:07).
  • Podcast with Oliver Berkman - Make the most out of the “Four Thousand Weeks” you have.
  • Summit with Amy Mcnee - Learn the freedom that comes from setting clear restrictions that reveal what truly matters and what’s just distraction.
