Why do people worry so much about their incomes and so little about how they spend their time? Perhaps it is because dollars are so readily visible, while time is just there, that we concentrate on the scarcity of the former and ignore the increasing scarcity of the latter. Will Rogers, 20th century humorist said, Buy land - they aint making any more of it. I say, Think about time - youre not getting any more of it. Daniel S. Hamermesh, The time of our lives: Why do people worry so much about their incomes and so little about how they spend their time?, Downing Lecture, University of Melbourne, 1 August 2013.
