People nowadays seem to have the sense that their time has become more limited. That compared to earlier generations we spend more and more time working and have less and less free time to engage in leisure pursuits. But this premise turns out to be an illusion. The most comprehensive data from Major Time Use Service suggests that if anything, Americans today have more free time than early generations. The number of hours we work has not changed much, but we spend less time now on home tasks. So we have a great amount of time for leisure than in decades past. So, why do we feel like time is so scare? One problem is that our time has become more valuable and as time becomes worth more money, we feel like we have less of it. Workers who bill or get paid as the hour, think employers and fast-food workers, report focusing more on pursuing more money than those who get paid as salary and the effect happens fast. In one experiment, people were told to play the role of consultants and bill their time at either nine dollars an hour or ninety dollars an hour. When people billed their time for ninety dollars an hour they reported feeling far more pressed for time. Thinking about our time as money, changes are our behavior as well. In one study, people who were instructed to think about money before entering a cafe spent less time chatting with the other patrons and more time working. Those who are thinking about their time did the reverse, spending time socializing instead of working.
23. What does the speaker say people now feel about time?
24. What do the data from Major Time Use Service show?
25. What happens when we think about our time as money?
