What the result means

The result shows whether your week is built around meaningful work or consumed by meetings and administration.

Time Allocation Rate = Category Hours / Weekly Available Hours × 100

A strong weekly time pattern usually keeps focus time above 35% to 40% of available working time.

Example calculation

With 50 available hours, 18 focus hours, 10 meeting hours, and 8 admin hours, your deep work ratio is 36% and non-focus work takes 18 hours.

Tips for better results

  • Track admin time separately from focused production.
  • Move recurring shallow work into batches.
  • Use the largest non-focus category as the first optimization target.

FAQ

Where does my time go each week?

This calculator separates focus, meetings, admin, and unused time so you can see the main time drain.

How much focus time should I have weekly?

For many knowledge workers, 15 to 25 hours of weekly focus time is a strong target.

What is a healthy meeting ratio?

A meeting ratio below 20% is usually healthy; above 35% often crowds out deep work.

How can I reduce wasted time each week?

Batch admin work, shorten meetings, remove low-value recurring tasks, and protect focus blocks.

How should I balance work and breaks?

Breaks should support recovery without consuming the productive core of the week.
