[Article] Are You Really Short Of Time?

In this article, Acharya Prashant challenges the familiar complaint of “not having enough time,” suggesting that the real issue is not time itself, but a lack of clarity about what truly matters. He argues that much of our busyness comes from chasing external expectations, social pressure, and unconscious habits rather than living with intention.

Instead of offering productivity tricks, he shifts the focus inward. Feeling constantly overwhelmed, he suggests, often comes from spending energy on things that do not genuinely contribute to our growth or deeper fulfillment. When priorities are unclear, even endless effort feels exhausting and directionless.

The deeper message is simple but powerful: meaningful change begins with clarity of purpose. When you are aligned with what truly matters, time stops feeling like an enemy and starts falling into place more naturally.
