Walljasper talks about major factors contributing to American's increasingly hectic lifestyles. They have become slaves to their schedules. They are in competition with time. They have various obligations and opportunities to meet. That's why they are forced to overwork.
They have to work around the clock at school, job, and home. So many things are happening too fast. They are compelled to follow the dizzying timetable, duties, commitments, demands, and options.
Walljasper argues due to the globalized economy, people are in a race to earn better. Those people at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder suffer a lot. They have to handle two or three jobs. Likewise, successful professionals like Doctors are working with crowded schedules.
With the invention of technologies like cell phones, laptops, computers, and email expect us to be instantaneous. Though they are invented to make our work easier, they not setting us free. We are expected to be in the loop all the time that get us occupied all the time. They can't enjoy a vacation and have a private life.
We are pilled up with duties and work which come in the form of opportunities. Walljasper asserts we are open to enrich ourselves with courses like Spanish lessons, games, festivals, events, therapy sessions, and gathering with friends. We have to manage all these activities within 24 hours.
Walljasper argues that people are leading mechanical life because of their everyday schedules in the industrialized and fast-paced society. They have no time to experience the magic and spontaneous moment. They miss out on the first balmy evening of spring and gathering on the sidewalk.
He thinks the solution is to cut back working hours like practices of France, Italy, and European nations. The sabbatical every decade and paid holidays for the employees can nurture the soul.
The best way to help keep time on your side is to expand and contract our activities on their own pattern. Now and then, time gets to be bigger and we keep in mind all the subtle elements that have taken the put in it. Some of the time gets to be shorter and we have a dubious memory of the occasion.
