Practices that may help

1. Time Affluence Practices (Cassie Holmes)
   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.
2. Use a life transition to break old environment-behavior links
   Major context changes (a move, a new job) create a rare window where old habits are disrupted and new ones are easier to form.

3. Start the week by connecting your schedule to what you value
   Time feels well spent when you can articulate why it aligns with what matters to you.

4. Identify and anticipate upcoming transition windows
   Treat approaching life changes as scheduled opportunities for habit installation — plan before the transition, not after.

5. Time Smart: Buying Back Your Time Affluence
   Ashley Whillans’s research shows that "time affluence" — the subjective sense of having enough time — predicts well-being better than income beyond a moderate level, and that concrete practices like outsourcing disliked tasks and protecting time for meaningful activities measurably raise it. The core studies are correlational with some experimental support for specific interventions.
6. Use social transitions to change the norms around your behavior
   When your social group changes, use the transition to adopt the behavioral norms of the new group rather than carrying old ones.

7. 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.
8. The Habit Discontinuity Effect
   The habit discontinuity effect, studied by Phillippa Lally and Bas Verplanken among others, shows that environmental disruptions — moving house, changing jobs, starting university — weaken the contextual cues that sustain existing habits, creating a window of increased behavior malleability. Evidence comes primarily from observational and survey studies; the effect appears real but its magnitude varies considerably by habit type and individual.
9. Actively protect valuable existing habits during transitions
   Deliberately transfer the cues for good habits to the new context before the disruption extinguishes them.

10. Exploit micro-transitions within your day as mini fresh-start moments
    Use daily transition points — arriving home, finishing a meeting, taking a break — to deliberately shift behavior rather than defaulting to the old pattern.
