Running Out of Time?

Do you feel like there is never enough time in the day to accomplish the things you have set out for yourself -- can’t make it to all the soccer games, dance recitals, business meetings, dinner, homework, etc., etc., etc.?

Surprisingly, according to a recent analysis of time-use data from the General Social Survey by Dr. John P. Robinson, a professor of sociology at the University of Maryland

“…Americans don't feel any more stressed or rushed than they did in the 1980s... But using time unwisely…was recently correlated with increased levels of unhappiness.”

What that indicates to me is that if you are rushed and never seem to have enough time, maybe it’s a problem with time management, and not a problem of not having enough time.

I guess that’s something to consider as we plan our day and decide what we think we can realistically accomplish. Maybe if we spend more time managing our day, we won’t feel like we’re running out of time.
