Time Affluence, Made Practical - Time Affluence, Made Practical
Time affluence is the felt sense of having enough time, the opposite of "time famine" — the chronic feeling of being rushed. Research suggests that valuing time over money, and spending money to buy back time, predict greater happiness, though much of the evidence is correlational and the effects, while real, are modest. - Time Smart: Buying Back Your Time Affluence

The core studies are correlational with some experimental support for specific interventions. - Actively choose time over money at decision points

Cassie Holmes’s research on time and happiness identifies several evidence-backed habits that increase felt time abundance: protecting a moderate amount of discretionary time, spending time on activities that match your strengths, investing in experiences over things, and being present in time you already have. Effects are real but modest; the biggest single factor is how you allocate and attend to the time you have, not how much of it there is. - Savor time to make it feel more abundant
Be fully present in activities so time feels fuller, not just faster.
