Summary of Ashley Whillans's Time Smart

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Time poverty is when you have too many things to do and not enough time to do them. It affects all cultures and economic strata.

#2 The pervasiveness of time poverty is a serious problem that is affecting all aspects of life, from the economy to our health. It is causing individuals and societies to compromise, and it is forcing us to choose between eating healthy food or being able to exercise.

#3 The most common cause of time poverty is that we spend more time working than we used to. However, this isn’t the only cause. It’s also because we have been taught that time is valuable, and we feel as if we need to spend every moment working or appearing to work.

#4 We have more leisure time than we did fifty years ago, but this leisure is never more relaxing because of the disintermediating effects of our screens. We adopt mobile technologies to gain autonomy over when and how long we work, but we end up working all the time.
