Diary Audit Checklist

When to use this

Look at the last 4 weeks. Ask the questions below. Be honest. Move time toward what produces results; remove what doesn't.

# Diary Audit Checklist

## Look at the last 4 weeks. For each recurring meeting:

- [ ] What's the meeting for?
- [ ] Has it produced a decision in the last 4 sessions?
- [ ] Is the right group of people in the room?
- [ ] Is it the right cadence (could it be fortnightly? monthly?)
- [ ] Could it be a written update instead?

## Time allocation
- [ ] Hours spent in 1:1s
- [ ] Hours spent in external meetings
- [ ] Hours on deep / planning work
- [ ] Hours on admin / inbox
- [ ] Hours of unstructured (or "stolen") time

## Compare to intent
- [ ] Does the split match what the executive said they want?
- [ ] If not, what shifts in the next 4 weeks?
