Why are we busier than ever?

Technically, our life should be easier than our parents’ because so much of manual work is done by machines and software.

But for some reason, we’re busier than ever.

How can this happen?

One hypothesis I have is – we’re being presented with a lot more options and opportunities in every single area of our life.

We’ve many growth opportunities at work.

We’ve many fun activities for our hobbies.

We’ve many options to stay connected with our friends and families.

We’ve many videos to watch, articles to browse, and books to read.

More, more, more…

There is only one thing that hasn’t changed from our parents’ days to ours.

And that is – each of us is born with a finite amount of time on this earth and has 24 hrs on any given day.

And it seems like figuring out how we use it wisely is one of our life’s primary activities.

And I don’t know what is the solution to this issue.

Most likely its – do, use, and aspire fewer things.

It’s easier said than done.

But nonetheless, hope it’s a good reminder for everyone.
