17	Instructions:
18	1. Begin by reviewing the "real-life" sample times recorded on this sheet, as well as the final Summary sheet (last sheet/tab). Once you have a sense of how to record how you use your time, start recording your actual time spent in each activity in the sheet labelled Day 1 (Monday), then Day 2 (Tuesday), etc. Also, add comments in each row, highlighting anything important, unusual or any insights.
19
20	2. To edit column headings (your daily activities) do so on the final sheet (Summary). Change these to suit your activities. Ensure your Highest Priority actions are listed, as well as all the other "stuff" you do in a day. ONLY EDIT CELLS WHICH ARE HIGHLIGHTED YELLOW!
21
22	3. Track your time each day on a new sheet (tab) for 5 days. Ensure that each hour (row) equals, but does not exceed 60 (minutes), except in the case of partial hours worked (ex. starting at 7:30 or ending at 4:30) and the After Hours row in which you tally all work done after leaving the office. Confirm the total minutes you recorded at the end of each row in purple. The workbook will automatically total your recorded time from each day and forward it to the Summary sheet. Feel free to check in with this Summary daily.

26	4. After the 5th day, finish by entering your Total Hours Worked in cell 6B on the Summary sheet (you may want to record this seperately each day; eg 8am-5pm = 9hrs x 5 days = 45 hours for the week). This number may be different from your total time captured in minutes. The difference will be noted in cell 3B of the Summary sheet under "Unallocated Time." The difference here will be the time you didn't capture/record through each day.

29	5. Take some time to review your summary numbers and chart. How are you feeling about where your time is being spent? What insights does it create? This tool is to heighten your awareness of where you invest your time. If you're looking to change your results/outcomes, the most important thing you can do is change where you invest your time. The real work begins now...and it's SO worth it!
