Contribution Audit

The work pillar isn't just your job. It's everything you give to others — paid or unpaid. This audit counts both, because parenting, volunteering, and unpaid art are work too.

Estimate weekly hours in each category. Be specific — the unpaid hours often surprise people.

Includes school runs, meals, bedtime routines, helping with homework, looking after a parent.
Counts only when the learning is in service of contribution — not "I'm learning to read books for fun" (that's life).

A note on the philosophy

Work is contribution to others — paid or unpaid. Life is receiving from others — paid or unpaid. Sleep is restoration. The triangle holds when each side is honoured.
