Every one of us get equal number of hours per day. It does not matter if you are rich, poor, sick or healthy. We all have the same amount of time on this planet. And even in overall health we have limited amount of the time on this planet.
Do you think it'd be different life if we had more time?
My answer : No.

So let's discuss the myth of "I wish I had More Time".
More Time Does NOT Mean Productivity
People who waste their 24 hours today are going to be wasting even if you give them 26 hours per day. You have to view the life in terms of the productivity. But life does not work like that. You can get more time but if you have no plan, schedule and the actions to handle that time, you are wasting time in the grand scheme of things. You have to plan your time to be even 1 percent productive out of it.
More Time Does Not Mean More Impact in Life
You can get limited time in the life yet your impact on life may be limited. Sometimes relationship requires less exposure and less space and some of the time it requires all the time that one can spend. So your impact of life depends on more variables and not just time alone. You have to utilize time very good way. So in order to increase life impact you have to address the variables of impact.
More Time Does not Mean More Solutions
Sometimes we think that if we had more time we could have found more solutions to the life problems. But that is not the case. You have more time you get more relaxed and you don't focus on the urgency. So you have to focus on the time urgency and focus on how effectively you can get the solution instead of getting the more time without deadline. So having urgency in your life with the time is more important.
You Either Invest in Time or You Spent It
So you have a case where you have been given same amount of time and you have a lot of ways to spend the time or invest it. You learn something is investment. You spending time watching the netflix that is wasted time. So how you view your future is based on one of the two actions. How are you spending or investing your time would decide your future compounding effect. That's how the time management works.
Often the time management and productivity is ignored because you are working by the template of the society. And you choose to move ahead following that as that gives you the most comfort in the life.
Conclusion
You can have more time. You can have more length of lifecycle yet if you have no impact in life that would not be much of worth. Some people live short life yet have more impact while some get long life without any form of impact on the world.
Do you think you having more time would change the world or change your life?
