Episode notes
Time affluence is the subjective feeling of having free time, contrasting with the negative state of time famine, which mimics the effects of hunger famine. Research indicates that time famine diminishes happiness and triggers the fight or flight response. To combat this, individuals should prioritize and free up time, such as by trading money for time-saving services like dining out. Making use of 'time confetti,' those small pockets of time scattered throughout the day, is essential. Engaging in activities like connecting with friends, deep breathing, or positive self-talk during these moments can significantly boost happiness levels.
