Contribute more, consume less. LIVE IN BALANCE
Are you feeling stuck? A little lost? Like time slips by but you’re not moving forward?
That’s what an unbalanced life feels like. Too much consumption leaves us drained, dependent, and dissatisfied. Too much contribution pushes us into burnout.
The Adulting Ratio is a simple compass that helps you find your way back to confidence, purpose, and balance. By looking honestly at how you spend your time, you’ll see patterns that either hold you back or move you forward.
Find Your Balance. Fix Your Burnout. Mindfull Productivity
The Adulting Ratio helps you see how your week really stacks up, what you build vs. what you binge. No guilt, no hustle-shame, just balance.
AI That Gets You: Feedback That Fits Your Life
No generic pep talks here. Your AI Coach learns your patterns and gives advice that matches your vibe, your goals, and your energy level.
Find Your Flow and Keep It
Adulting doesn’t have to mean burnout. The Adulting Ratio helps you see where your time actually goes, so you can balance work, rest, and real life without losing yourself in the grind.
Why It Works
Adulting doesn’t come with instructions, but balance can. The Adulting Ratio helps you see where your time actually goes, so you can stop guessing and start feeling in control again.
# more about
The Adulting Ratio
We each get about 100 usable hours a week, once you strip away sleep (≈ 8 hrs/day) and natural idle time (≈ 2 hrs/day). Those 100 hours are your real life budget.
How you spend them falls into two buckets:
Contribution: Working, learning, creating, or serving with the primary intent that others will benefit.
Examples: Paid work, volunteering, caregiving, cooking for others, studying for a degree, writing or creating for others.
Consumption: Using what others have created primarily for your own benefit. This includes entertainment, services, and most forms of rest.
Examples: Streaming shows, cooking for self, gaming, scrolling, eating out, spa visits, reading for personal enjoyment, playing sports for fun.
The Ratio Levels
70/30
The Sweet Spot: Balance. Enough contribution to grow and feel independent, enough consumption to rest and recharge.
80/20
Thriving: High-growth seasons. Contribution dominates, but it’s sustainable.
90/10
Burnout Zone: High output with too little recovery. Even achievers can’t live here forever.
20/80
Stagnation Zone: Too much consumption leads to low confidence, dependence, and the sense of being stuck.
