- Time Affluence, Made Practical

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 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. - Quality time
