This is the opposite of what many of us experience, which we might better call time famine, where you literally feel like you're starving for time.

Um, and studies by researchers like Ashley Whillans at Harvard Business School show that if you self-report being time famished, that's as big a hit on your well-being as if you self-report being unemployed, right? We all-- If your listeners are working right now, and they lost their job suddenly tomorrow, that would suck for their overall happiness.

Just not having any time is just as bad.

And so the tip that we need to do is to really promote our time affluence, to find some.

We tend not to realize those are decent amounts of time, so we tend to just blow them.

You know, we ch- check our phone or scroll through something on social media, but those kinds of moments add up.

And so one of the suggestions I love is, again, by Ashley Whillans, whose work I mentioned.

She recommends making a time confetti wish list, right? Which is not a to-do list.

It's like, when I have that five minutes, maybe that's when I do a little self-compassion check or I get in a quick 10-minute meditation or I text a friend, right? Just do something that will really promote your happiness in those windows.
