In today’s society, we are more pressed for time than ever. It’s no wonder that our culture holds people who multi-task in such high regard. Logically, we know that it is impossible to do it all, but it never seems to stop us from trying. According to a recent study, there’s a way out – Hire Your Way to Happiness!
We go through our days trying to do it all and be it all. In the mornings we rush off to work, on the way home we stuff in some grocery shopping. We walk in the door and cook meals while juggling the laundry and returning emails and phone calls. At the same time, we take care of our kids, often chauffeuring them from piano lessons to soccer practices. We arrange their playdates and take our kids, our parents and ourselves to doctor appointments. We even work to bring our families together for fun by organizing family parties, dinners, and barbecues. We spend even more time keeping our commitments to our community and our friends — it’s no wonder we don’t even have time to keep up with those Kardashians!
According to a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the key to happiness may be in buying yourself a little time.
The study, Buying Time Promotes Happiness, used a large, diverse group of people in four countries — the United States, Canada, Denmark, and The Netherlands and concluded that individuals who spend money on time-saving services report greater life satisfaction.
Their field experiment provided evidence that working adults report greater happiness after spending money on a time-saving purchase rather than on a material purchase. Put these two results together, and you can see that yes, using money to buy time can, in fact, buy happiness.
“From our theoretical perspective, buying time should protect people from the negative impact of time stress on life satisfaction.” — PNAS Study: Buying time promotes happiness by Ashley V. Whillans, Elizabeth W. Dunn, Paul Smeets, Rene Bekkers, and Michael I. Norton.
The study suggests that buying ourselves out of the negative experiences in our lives gives us positive effects that go above and beyond the money we’ve spent.
