Rachelle's Reading List: Friday, October 31st, 2014

One author decided to treat his time like he does his money, making a spreadsheet to find out where he was spending it all... Via The Muse: "It is true that we are all working more than ever before, but for the vast majority of us, the no-time myth is exactly that: a myth." "As Scott Behson recently reminded us in Harvard Business Review, we all start each week with the gift of 168 new hours. Behson breaks down the week, taking out 49 hours for sleep, 56 for work, 7 for commuting, 13 for errands and routine housework, and 20 hours for family (childcare, cooking, and so on). After all that, he lays out what seems like an impossible fact: We should have a full 23 hours leftover. " "Just like a financial budget can surprise you with the amount you’re spending on Starbucks or taxis, a time budget can help you realize how fast your 10-minute Facebook breaks are adding up or how many TV shows you really watch per week. And unlike money, you can’t catch up on lost time, so make sure you’re spending yours wisely."
