Time Affluence

Time has become a commodity.  What wouldn't we do with more time in a day? 

"I wish I had 30-hour days," I've heard some people say. A day with its 24 hours in it does not seem to be enough to do all we we need to get done, especially at work.  The truth is that, as my mom used to say, "there's more time than life."

Tal-Ben-Shahar, a psychology professor at Harvard University, says that Americans are increasingly getting busier by cramming all sorts of activities in their day, from status updating on social networks to shopping, house work on top of their regular work duties.  Getting busy, or looking busy, he states, has become a norm or a desired state, leaving very little time for 'quality time,' one of the 5 key ways to happiness.

Evaluating how you spend your time against goals (business and personal), goal setting to maximize quality over quantity and allocating  time to your personal life may help decrease frustration and help you feel happier.
