Power Up Your Mind: Learn faster, work smarter

What does a typical week in your life look like? How much of it is spent trying to learn things?

Obviously, you learn without being conscious of it, so it may be difficult to be sure.

Use the week at a view chart below to work out how much time you spend doing things. The

kinds of things you might want to include on your weekly chart are work, domestic chores,

sports, gardening, DIY, playing with family, time with your partner, eating, television, courses

you take, traveling to and from work, etc.

Once you have got a clear idea of how you spend your week, group the activities under five

or six headings, one of which is learning, and make a personal pie chart to show how much

time you spend on each of them.
