Time Smart: How to Reclaim Your Time and Live a Happier Life ハードカバー – 2020/10/6
購入オプションとあわせ買い
There's an 80 percent chance you're poor. Time poor, that is.
Four out of five adults report feeling that they have too much to do and not enough time to do it. These time-poor people experience less joy each day. They laugh less. They are less healthy, less productive, and more likely to divorce. In one study, time stress produced a stronger negative effect on happiness than unemployment.
How can we escape the time traps that make us feel this way and keep us from living our best lives?
Time Smart is your playbook for taking back the time you lose to mindless tasks and unfulfilling chores. Author and Harvard Business School professor Ashley Whillans will give you proven strategies for improving your "time affluence." The techniques Whillans provides will free up seconds, minutes, and hours that, over the long term, become weeks and months that you can reinvest in positive, healthy activities.
Time Smart doesn't stop at telling you what to do. It also shows you how to do it, helping you achieve the mindset shift that will make these activities part of your everyday regimen through assessments, checklists, and activities you can use right away. The strategies Whillans presents will help you make the shift to time-smart living and, in the process, build a happier, more fulfilling life.

It also is good that it does not provide a one size fits all solution but rather challenges you to understand your own situation and how to evaluate changes you need to make. Yes there is some homework in this book
Reframing Events to happiness dollars is a fantastic way to understand impact and decide how to spend your time better to make you happier.
I hope the number of people read this and start to make changes to improve their lives.
For years I've been telling people in my talks and workshops about how all the meeting, commuting and traveling required for their status-oriented, high-paying jobs are probably making them more miserable than they realize. So I am thrilled that the "6 Time Traps" framework of Prof Whillans provides the new language and robust data to back up my perennial gripes. The name of the sin is "time poverty", and the six Time Traps leading to it are:
1. Technology: It interferes with your leisure, shredding your time into confetti.
2. Money focus: Prioritizing making more money over having free time is guaranteed to make you miserable in the long run.
3. Undervalued time: Spending time searching for the best deal is bad use of time.
4. Busyness as status: This is huge. You think you're so special because you're busy? That is so 17th century Protestant work ethic. It's also incredibly annoying to friends and family.
5. Idleness aversion: There are places in the world where people don't feel guilty when they're not working. America is not one of them.
6. The "Yes…Damn!" effect: Don't overcommit to stuff such that you end up overwhelmed later.
At the end of each chapter, Whillans provides an implementation toolkit to help you incorporate the learnings into your life. I would encourage folks to fill in the tables and do the exercises. You won't want to miss out on the insights into your own time tendencies and the ways to improve them.
One area where this book breaks new ground is in the concept of "happiness dollars", which is "the income equivalent of the amount of happiness produced by a time-related choice." Basically, it's the money value of time, a metric especially needed in cultures obsessed with the time value of money (how else you gonna convince MBA students to change their behavior?). Armed with the concept of happiness bucks, you can figure out that outsourcing chores is worth h$18,000, vacation h$4400, and socializing h$5800+. Once you have a number attached to it, the human brain has a much easier time figuring out time-money tradeoffs and making decisions more aligned with happiness.
Weighing in at a mere 185 pages, the book packs a disproportionately strong wallop of actionable, lifestyle-altering advice. The one I intend to implement immediately is "proactive time" — time reserved for work that is important but not urgent. I also enjoyed all the fun facts, e.g. "more than 700 million vacation days go unused each year" in America. In sum, this is a timely (ha!) book that highlights time poverty as one of the supreme maladies of our era, suggesting solutions for making us more time-rich at the individual, family and societal level. Get it as a wake-up call and guide for a time-impoverished person you know, which may well be yourself.

This is the “elephant in the room” that nobody wants to address because we end up solving for money as it is easy to measure. Ashley gives us some tools and techniques to bring the key issues around time poverty to our awareness and then goes onto share some insights around how we can mitigate this.
One of the quotes from her book is “Money can protect against sadness but it cannot buy joy”. The book is filled with several such nuanced insights which made me reflect and take stock of my life. She also speaks about two archetypes - Morgan (somebody who prioritizes money) and Taylor (someone who values time). She goes on to talk about how Morgans and Taylors would end up making choices and points out the traps and the pitfalls that we should watch out for depending on which camp we belong in.
Overall, lots of food for thought on arguably what is the most critical non renewable resource in our lives - Time!
