Also, most people don’t have great time management skills (myself included) so never really have any slack time.


sort by: page size:

Most people do not have time to do this.

People have plenty of time, they just don't have the motivation.

I think most people are just pretending. There's not that much work to do, they just don't use their time wisely and often are too dumb or optimistic to know when not to dedicate time to something.

Most people are not smart enough to do this, and even if they are, they don't have enough time in their day.

The lack of time is really a perception caused by mental overload. Most people I know have extra time. They're just incredibly overwhelmed with the background noise of work. They have time, but extremely little of it is mentally useful time.

People don't have time for all that, nor should they.

and most people just do the time

But they suck at it because they lack the time due to other adult obligations (kids, spouses, work, etc).

Exactly. That, plus the fact(?) that most people put less than 100 hours into most things.

Thoughtful people who want to get things done recognize that other people's time is a scarce resource that should be allocated deliberately, not routinely.

BS,most people wouldn't know what to do with their time other than to waste it away. It's very hard to plan long term and execute so most people will do what they feel like doing minute to minute. If you have all the resources you will ever need then wasting your time is no problem. Otherwise be very careful with it. Most people can't manage it by themselves. They need the structure of a job or similar situation.

Not everyone have the time.

I'm not sure I see where the article talks about poor time management?

People have way too much free time

Nobody actually has time for all that

That's just poor time management though

Too much free time is infinitely worse than not enough free time.

Most people are not self starting, and self driven, without someone/something driving them most people flounder.


or people with less time on thier hands.

Unfortunately people don’t have unlimited time/energy/money. It may not be that they don’t care, but rather they are expending their full effort on other tasks
