Since I still have operating systems on the mind from another HN thread, I would phrase this as being aware of the whole system and optimizing it globally. And speaking as someone with horrendous time management habits, I fully agree with the statement "everyone has time". Not that we can achieve whatever we want, but up to our potential, perspective drives everything. Don't worry about what you can't control; worry about what you can control. Easier said than done, of course.
