Your life story is being written in hours, and you’re the one choosing which chapters get the most pages.

A life is made of allocation rather than intention. Where the hours actually go is the record, and it will not match the version of your priorities you would state out loud if anyone asked. Nobody decides this once; it gets decided again every ordinary afternoon, mostly without being noticed.

Look at last week honestly and see which parts of your life received the most time. Compare that with what you would say matters. Move one hour, just one, from the first list to the second, and see whether the week feels different by Friday.
