(Time Management cont.)  Time-value paradox

"...we're are conditioned to believe that our time is too valuable to waste, but we often end up spending our leisure on things that make us feel like we are wasting our time..."
Catherine Price, 2022

We have been indoctrinated to believe that there should be a purpose to everything we do; otherwise it's a waste of time. The focus is on work and productivity for connection; yet mo re and more people are feeling lonely. For example, the more dependent we become on our phones, the lonely we are.
"...our output-driven approach to time and the lack of value. We assign to fun as the unfortunate result of making us seek quantifiable outcomes for our social lives. We end up obsessively documenting our experiences so that we can offer evidence on social media that we are fun and interesting people..."
Catherine Price, 2022
