Capitalism made us more aware of the time than need be. The squeezing out of everything that one can within the stipulated time to give profits to corporations made us to be more urgent in everything and at all times.
Not doing it gifts us guilt and a mental discipline to avoid it and further trapping us in this clock race.
The hourly pay tied to the time successfully removed life from work and has put a conscience in us to be more resourceful as time is now a resource that needs careful management and prioritization, even inviting the evil of multitasking into our lives that’s killing away our attention without any mercy.
Time has become extremely valuable now to an extent that even we have to beg time for more time, probably at the end of the week.
Time
One, time corrupts memory. When recalled, we often exaggerate or understate what exactly happened. This was seen clearly when 9/11 survivors told the things that never happened to the media, that’s why so many rumors and gossip have cropped up. Second, we are poor long-term decision-makers. The brain has a ‘Now bias’, that is only to think of short-term consequences and effects and nudge us to do things that give fruits at this moment. The serious long-term effects are thrown away and never shown to us in the fullest sense, hence we often procrastinate or ignore important tasks and do silly things that usually won’t matter down the line.
Scarcity
One of the important rules for the success of any task we undertake is a paucity of time. Enough time makes you lazy and comfortable. The lack of time gives you focus, prioritisation, and optimal utilization of energy and resources.
People often complain but with scarcity, you put your 100% and try to capture every microsecond that’s available and is given to us.
