Time Affluence and Time Makeovers

I've been reading about time management for years: tips and techniques for getting things done. I had never heard the term "time affluence" until yesterday. I read it in The New York Times article I mentioned in yesterday's post.

Today, the concept of time affluence re-appeared in a Huffington Post article. A majority of Americans feel time poor. Feeling time affluent can make you feel happier and help you connect with and become kinder to others.

The author listed four techniques to increase your sense of time affluence. I especially liked "Make A Time Confetti Checklist." Basically, you should take advantage of those little pieces of time between tasks or waiting for a doctor's appointment.

These articles are part of the whole make your life over literature that crops up every January. I'm especially receptive to these types of articles this year because I've been making some changes myself.
