Audit a week the way Arnold Bennett's 'How to Live on 24 Hours a Day' (1908) prescribes — time as the one income that cannot be increased, the day-within-the-day, and starting with 90 minutes, not a life overhaul. Use when someone says 'I have no time', 'work eats everything', 'I want to learn X but can't fit it', or asks for a time audit or evening routine. Produces a time ledger, one reclaimed 'inner day' block, and Bennett's own warnings about overreach.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓The ledger accounts for all 24 hours — sleep and the muddled margin included;
✓a ledger that only lists productive blocks missed the book's point
✓The block is ≤90 minutes and ≤3 evenings to start, whatever the user's
✓enthusiasm — cite Bennett's overreach warning when trimming their ambition
✓The pursuit is named and effortful, chosen by the user, not assigned
✓The protection plan names what the block *displaces* — reclaimed time comes
✓from somewhere, and pretending otherwise is how programs die
✓The tone stays companionable — an audit, not an audit*ing*
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not optimise the working day itself — Bennett's insight is that the job is
the day's landlord and the margins are where freedom lives; day-job problems
route to deep-work-blocking and standing-meeting-audit
Do not fill every found hour — the program is one block; the rest of the
margin stays slack on purpose
