We extend Bousso's notion of a lightsheet - a surface where entropy can be defined in a way so that the entropy bound is satisfied - to more general surfaces. Intuitively these surfaces may be regarded as deformations of the Bousso choice; in general, these deformations will be timelike and so we refer to them as `timesheets'. We show that a timesheet corresponds to a section of a certain twistor bundle over a given spacelike two-surface B. We further argue that increasing the entropy flux through a given region corresponds to increasing the volume of certain regions in twistor space. We further argue that in twistor space, it might be possible to give a purely topological characterization of a lightsheet, at least for suitably simple spacetimes.
