From the article: "I think that time tracking deserves a try. A life is lived in hours. What we do with our lives will be a function of how we spend those hours, and we get only so many."
It's high-status to be busy. Time tracking, while useful for some, is more likely to be a way for people to play the status game.
- fossuser 10y agoI agree on the status point - talking about how 'busy' you are is basically bragging about your status. I suspect the working poor or people who actually have less control over their time are more likely to say they're exhausted/tired/overwhelmed than 'busy'. Busy to me is someone just advertising they're important.
