The Investment of Time

The only asset* is human time. It follows that, individually, our days are our only raw, natural resource. Here is the system we are now employing for making decisions about how time is invested.

• Every period of time to invest is reviewed before it begins
• Each review is of a duration and happens within a window according to the following table.

Period	Review Duration	Review Window
Day	5-15 minutes	6 hours
Week	45-60 minutes	1 day (Sunday)
Month	3 hours	3 days
Quarter	4-5 hours	4 days
Year	2 days	1 week

• In situations where review windows overlap (e.g. Sunday weekly review and Monday review), the review of the longer period happens before the window of the shorter opens.
