HR Era	Weekly Schedule Template
	Kathy Paauw ©2000-2005 Paauwerfully Organized. All Rights Reserved.

To support you in being more intentional about how you spend your time, it may be helpful to create a master template like the one below, which designates specific days of the week and times of the day or evening for specific types of activities.

As you create your own template, keep in mind that not all hours of the day are created equal. When are you at your best for thinking creatively? Schedule your "high brain activities" for that time. When are you at your best for doing "low brain activites" that you can do while in "auto pilot" mode? Are you a morning person or a night owl?

For this sample schedule, I have broken time into four different colors which represent the following:

Pink = Free time away from work. (Good question to ask yourself: If I schedule a work-related activity here, what will I be giving up?)
Blue = Creative time to develop new ideas, processes, solutions.
Green = Focused time that is directly related to generating income and delivering the products/services you offer (client appointments, projects, etc.).
Yellow = Support time -- activities that are necessary and important to working productively (admin, marketing, etc.).

The color coding helps you see how much time you spend in each of the four areas.

Shade in your own schedule according to how you choose to designate your use of time. You can also write in recurring appointments or commitments that don't tend to change from week to week.
