The Concept

168 Hours is an exploration of grind and hustle culture, burnout, and the pressure to maximize on the 168 hour week. 

I explored the modular system of schedules, with a focus on color relationships within the context of common calendar apps like Google Calendar and Apple Calendar. With the help of friends, I collected a large database of calendars from college students and abstracted their schedules to understand the relationship between the blocked out time on the calendar and the "invisible" time.
