A free weekly time audit for your 168 hours.
A free weekly time audit. Compare what you planned with what actually happened, then find one change for next week.
No account needed. Your entries stay on this page and are cleared when you leave or reload.
Start your time audit →Put your week on paper.
Choose one recent week. Use your calendar, notes, or a rough estimate. Add hours for each area, counting every hour just once.
Enter total hours for the week, not per day. For example, 8 hours each night is 56 weekly hours; 30 minutes is 0.5 hours. Leave an area blank to count it as zero.
If work includes learning, keep that time under work. If family time includes caregiving, choose one category. The labels are prompts, not a judgement.
Your week, side by side.
These are your estimates, not a score or a measure of your worth. Unassigned hours can be useful breathing room or simply time you have not logged.

How to do a weekly time audit
A time audit compares how you intended to spend your time with how you actually spent it. There are 168 hours in a seven-day week, including sleep, work, care, relationships, and the gaps between commitments. Looking at the whole week helps you see trade-offs that a task list cannot show.
- Choose an ordinary week. A holiday or deadline week can be useful too, but label it as an exception before drawing conclusions.
- Reconstruct what happened. Start with your calendar and add the things it missed: travel, preparation, care, rest, and interruptions. Estimates are enough for a first pass; do not invent precision.
- Compare each area with your plan. An extra hour somewhere usually comes from somewhere else. Look for the gap that matters to you, not just the largest number.
- Choose one adjustment. Protect one block, leave more room between commitments, or make a plan that reflects the time you actually have. Review it again next week.
A worked example
You planned 40 hours of work and 6 hours with friends. Work took 46 hours and time with friends fell to 2. That does not prove one caused the other, but it gives you a useful question: which work commitments could move so you can protect one evening?
Planned time is your budget. Actual time is your observation. Keep those columns separate: a calendar entry shows intention, while a completed activity or an honest estimate shows what happened.
What if the total is more than 168 hours?
You have probably counted some time twice, mixed daily and weekly hours, or made a plan that does not fit. Check the largest entries first. The calculator flags the excess so you can revise it.
Turn your time audit into a weekly review
Use the numbers to choose what to carry forward and one change to try. Our free weekly review template and checklist includes a worked example and a downloadable worksheet. You can use it without an account or email.
How does this connect to NATMA?
This tool is a simple way to try the planning and reflection loop. NATMA is being built to help you compare intention with reality and understand patterns over time. See how NATMA works or read why we focus on time ownership.
