Publisher's Synopsis
My Annual Personal Almanac & Agenda (MAPA&A) is a whole life planner that allows a monthly billing cycle and a biweekly pay period to coexist with your daily needs. It was designed to help plan out your entire year - one week at a time. There are just 168 hours between Sunday and Saturday. The best way to manage your time is to build a weekly schedule that you can stick to. A typical schedule begins with working full time. Working at least 40 hours each week will maximize income and improve opportunities for advancement.
Most authorities on health and wellbeing recommend 30 minutes each of physical activity and prayer or meditation each day. Most people benefit from 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every 24 hours.
If you work full time, sleep well and then take the time each day to pray and exercise, up to 103 hours of the 168-hour week will already be accounted for. With so many requirements of your time, how will you make use of those remaining 65 hours?
*Prepare meals
*Consume meals
*Clean house (daily, weekly, monthly, annual chores)
*Self-care - naps, showers, and hygiene, applying makeup, styling hair, personal services like going to the nail or hair salon or getting a massage
*Momming - any time devoted to your children to encourage their leisure, their personal care. (i.e., mealtimes, bathing, homework)
*Downtime is your free time to reasonably spend how you like
With the MAPA&A, you will have a well thought out approach to managing everything that falls between how you spend your time to how you spend your money. MAPA&A is meant to be kept as private as a diary, so be intentional with how you keep your records.
