What if most of your conversations about time are actually conversations about feelings?
80% of working adults feel like they’re “time-poor,” but time is a tricky concept to pin down. What many people really mean when they say “I don’t have enough time” is that they feel stressed or overwhelmed by the demands of work and life. This truth has costly consequences—feeling time-poor can have stronger negative effects on happiness than being unemployed. Dr. Ashley Whillans of Harvard Business School discusses the research linking time and well-being and offers suggestions on how to adopt a healthy time lifestyle.
