Why 168 hours?

A standard week is defined as 7 consecutive days. Each day has 24 hours, so: 7 × 24 = 168 hours in a week. This value does not change with months, seasons, or leap years.

Tip: If your free time goes negative, it means your plan does not fit into one week of 168 hours — a clear sign to rebalance.
