Find out exactly how much time you do have — for the things you want to do and can prioritize in your life.
Here's how it works
Most of us say "I don't have time" for the things we actually want to do — music, painting, writing, walking, whatever it is that's just for us. This calculator is here to test that assumption.
Every week contains exactly 168 hours. This tool helps you see where yours are actually going — and how many are genuinely unclaimed.
We've pre-filled the most common time commitments as a starting point — sleep, work, meals, and a few others.
Adjust any number that doesn't match your life. Change the hours per day, the days per week, or zero something out entirely.
Add any buckets we missed — church, kids' sports, caregiving, a side hustle, whatever else fills your week.
When you're done, hit Show me my results to see what's left.
Most people are surprised by what they find.
