| Hrs/day | 24 |
| Sleeping | 8 |
| Fresh up, eating | 1 |
| Leisure | 2 |
| Exercise | 1 |
| Spirituality | 1 |
| Commute | 1 |
| Total Unavailable Hrs/day | 14 |
| Available Hrs/ day | 10 |
For the available 10hrs/day, assume one works in 20mins intervals, i.e. 20mins focused work + 10mins break, then the overall focused work per hour is 40mins leading to 400mins (~6.5hrs) in the available 10hrs.
| Workdays/Wk. | Available Hrs | Focused Efforts (Hrs)/day | Focused Efforts/week (hrs/wk.) |
| 7 | 10 | 6.67 | 46.7 |
| 6 | 10 | 6.67 | 40.0 |
| 5 | 10 | 6.67 | 33.3 |
Now it is left to us to use these 10hrs productively or not. Again, preaching is easy, but the message is clear, the one who uses these 10 hrs productively leads a more purposeful life.
Add other ingredients to the illustration and the focused efforts further decrease 🙂
If you indulge in any of the activities listed above excessively, you have to salvage time from the other activities. I guess it again comes down to
अभ्यासवैराग्याभ्यां तन्निरोधः ➔ चित्त वृत्ति निरोधः
