Time Audit · Owner-operator, single-person service business
He was flat out sixty hours a week and couldn’t say where half of it went.
Six buckets showed exactly what to stop, hand off, or protect.
Hours a week going to admin he could hand off
11
He knew he was busy. He didn’t know his week was actually two full days of admin he could have handed to someone for a fraction of what those hours were worth doing himself. The Time Audit sorted a week into six honest buckets - billable work, admin, business development, and the rest - and the split wasn’t close to what he’d have guessed.
Nearly every owner who runs this audit overestimates how much of their week is spent on the thing that actually earns money. The value isn’t the audit itself, it’s the decision it forces afterwards: is this bucket worth protecting, worth handing off, or worth just stopping? For him, "invoicing and supplier chasing" alone was six hours a week he could buy back for less than a day’s worth of his own billable rate.
