Time Poverty and its Effects
Many people, including Americans, suffer from time poverty, feeling overwhelmed by their busy schedules and not having enough time to accomplish what they need or want to do. This feeling of time poverty can lead to negative effects such as decreased health, reduced kindness towards others, lower confidence, and reduced happiness. Contrary to what one might think, research suggests that doing more activities that expand you instead of doing less can increase time affluence and combat time poverty. Engaging in exercise, acts of kindness, and experiences of awe can all contribute to a greater sense of having enough time.
