Start with the result
Give the two hours one clear job
A useful two-hour plan begins with the result, then finds the time. A rough estimate is enough for the audit. You can test it against real life over the next seven days.
Count your time in step 2 below. Your plan appears underneath.

Step 1: what the two hours are for
Step 2
Find the time in your week
Count the time you can already see, then estimate where repeated work is using the week. Leave anything at zero when it does not apply.
Time already visible
Count the pockets you can genuinely protect
Use zero where a block does not fit. Fifteen-minute pockets are useful for one small decision or preparation. Longer blocks are better for making something.
Waiting, an early start or a short gap between commitments.
A lunch break, a quiet evening or a task that has been shortened.
A protected weekend hour or one focused evening.
Time-recovery audit
Estimate where repeated work is using the week
Enter the minutes each activity takes during a normal week. Leave a box at zero when it does not apply.

Your personalised AI prompt
This prompt is built from the answers you gave above and the plan this tool created. Copy it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to turn your protected time into the specific result you said you wanted.
How it works
Four steps to two protected hours
Name the result
Say what you want to start and what would make the first two hours worthwhile. Choose a block length and the time of day you can protect.
Count and audit your time
Add the 15, 30 and 60-minute pockets you can already see, then estimate the minutes six common time drains take each week.
Get your plan and AI prompt
Your plan shows where the 120 minutes come from, your weekly blocks and an 80/20 target. It also writes a personalised AI prompt from your answers using Kerry Greener’s 7-part Ultimate AI Prompt Formula.
Use the prompt and test
Paste the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to get a detailed action plan. Copy the calendar wording and run the seven-day test to replace estimates with real figures.
What the result tells you
Where the 120 minutes come from and how to keep them
Your result combines the time you can already see with conservative recovery estimates. It then gives the two hours one job, a weekly pattern, a personalised AI prompt and a simple way to test it.
Coverage and recovery
How much of the two-hour target your visible time covers, and your quickest route to the rest, starting with the largest repeated time drain you entered.
Protect
A weekly pattern of 15, 30 or 60-minute blocks at the time of day you can protect most easily.
Focus
Your 80/20 target and a timed plan for the first two hours, from naming the person to showing them a rough version.
Your AI prompt
A personalised prompt built from your answers and your plan, following Kerry Greener’s 7-part Ultimate AI Prompt Formula.
Act and test
Paste the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and work through the action plan it gives you. Put the blocks in your calendar, follow the rules and use the seven-day check to replace estimates with real minutes.
Common questions
Finding time for your own project: common questions
How can I find two hours a week to start a side project?
Start with the time already visible in your week, such as a lunch break or a quiet evening. Then shorten or group repeated activities like message checking, admin and long calls. Put the recovered minutes in your calendar before anything else claims them.
What is the 80/20 rule for time management?
The 80/20 rule, also called the Pareto principle, suggests that a small share of your activity produces most of your useful results. For a new project, it means choosing the one result that matters most and putting everything else on a later list.
What is time batching?
Time batching means grouping similar small tasks, such as messages, admin or errands, into one planned block instead of handling them throughout the day. Fewer switches between tasks usually means less lost time.
Should I work in 15, 30 or 60-minute blocks?
It depends on the work. Fifteen minutes suits one small decision or some preparation. Thirty minutes is enough to draft or edit. Sixty minutes is better for making something. If you are unsure, the planner chooses a block length from the time you enter.
What is a time audit?
A time audit is a simple estimate of where your week goes. This planner asks for the minutes you spend on six common time drains, then estimates how much of each you could realistically recover.
How does the planner estimate recovered time?
It uses a 50% planning estimate for repeated message checking, unplanned browsing and repeatable manual work. It uses 25% for meetings, admin and work without a finish line. These are starting estimates rather than promises.
What should I do with the first two hours?
Write down the one person, problem and result the work is for. Decide the smallest version that could produce that result, make a rough first version and show it to one suitable person. The planner turns this into a timed plan.
What does the personalised AI prompt do and how do I use it?
It turns your project, result, available time, working pattern and time audit into a structured prompt using Kerry Greener’s 7-part Ultimate AI Prompt Formula. Copy it from your plan and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. You get a detailed action plan based on your own answers rather than a generic planning prompt. If the AI asks one question, answer it, then put the blocks it suggests in your calendar.
What is Parkinson’s law?
Parkinson’s law is the observation that work expands to fill the time available for it. Giving each block one finished result and a firm stopping time stops a task from quietly growing.
What is the seven-day test?
For one week, record the minutes you actually recover and the blocks you actually protect. Keep the changes that worked and adjust the rest. Real figures from your own week then replace the planning estimates.
What if I cannot find a full two hours?
Your plan shows how many minutes are still missing. Track your largest repeated activity for seven days, then remove, shorten or group one part of it. Part of the target still gives you a place to start.
Is the two-hour planner free and do I need to sign up?
Yes, it is free. You do not need to enter an email address to see your plan, and you can copy the calendar wording, copy the full plan or print it straight away.
Is my information sent anywhere?
No. Your answers stay in this browser and are not sent to PassivAi.
Recommended next step
The Quiet Money Method - Online Niche Selector
A protected block of time becomes far more useful when it has one clear job. The next step is comparing possible ideas before one of them quietly adopts your calendar for the next six months.
The Quiet Money Method helps compare possible online income ideas against what you know, what you want and whether there is enough evidence to keep exploring.
- Put several ideas through the same set of checks
- Compare the results without relying on enthusiasm alone
- Choose the idea worth testing before building the product

How this tool was built
This tool adapts ideas discussed in Tim Ferriss’s The 4-Hour Workweek: choose effective work before improving efficiency, use an 80/20 filter, give tasks firm limits, batch repeated activity and remove unnecessary work before automating or handing it over. The calculator uses a 50% planning estimate for repeated message checking, unplanned browsing and repeatable manual work. It uses 25% for meetings, admin and work without a finish line. These are starting estimates rather than promises. The seven-day test replaces them with evidence from your own week.
The personalised AI prompt is built on Kerry Greener’s 7-part Ultimate AI Prompt Formula, created by Kerry Greener for PassivAi®. Its seven parts are Role, Task, Thinking Structure, Specifics, Context, Breakdown by Component and Notes. The prompt is generated locally from the answers you enter. Your answers are not sent to an AI service by this page. You choose whether to copy the finished prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or another tool.
