The secret to happier time is simple: prioritize time over money—one decision at a time.

My life is a work in progress. But my research and personal experiences have taught me that time is worth fighting for. None of us knows how much of it we have left. The present, this moment right now, is the best time to start to make small but meaningful changes so that you can be less stressed, enjoy your job more, and have healthier social rela

In fact, people who make less money benefit more from making time-related choices. This is because people who are materially constrained also tend to be time poor.

It didn’t matter where they lived or how much money they had in the present; financial uncertainty growing up led to a higher chronic focus on money as adults.

Statistically, the best predictor of how busy we are going to be next week is how busy we are right now.

Active leisure also pays off. Spending thirty minutes more each day on active leisure, such as exercising or volunteering, is worth about h$1,800 per year.

Ironically, perpetual busyness undermines the goals that we set out to achieve with all our busyness in the first place.

Happiness too often seems to be less a reflection of our actual happiness and more a reflection of the ways in which we compare ourselves to others.

When we feel time poor, we take on small, easy-to-complete tasks because they help us feel more control over our time.
