Stop feeling starved for time

One little way to make time feel more abundant

Many of us feel starved for time these days. We jump from one thing to the next, and back and forth between work and family responsibilities, often with no sense of space between them.

But it turns out there is one way to make time feel more abundant, no matter how much you have going on.

Several years ago, for my book Off the Clock, I had 900 busy people track their time for a day. I asked questions about how they felt about their time. I compared the people who had the most abundant perspective on time with those who felt most starved for time.

One of the biggest differences was how much time they spent on a certain category of activity.
