The emotional impact of over-optimisation
Too much optimisation can affect how we see time and impact our emotions.
- When our schedules are disrupted, it can trigger anxiety and annoyance. But if we see interruptions as time worthy, we may see them as beneficial.
- Research also shows over-scheduling can make us feel like we have less time. For example, if we have a meeting scheduled at a particular time, the hours before the meeting will feel insufficient, as if time shrinks towards the task.
- Research suggests feelings of time scarcity reduce our capacity to care about other people.
