This is part of a common tactic called the trickle-down approach to time. Work comes first, then family, chores, and our well-being is last. Consequently, we suffer from fatigue syndromes, migraines, and high blood pressure. We mistakenly believe that the answer to our dilemma with time is learning better time management. However, in the long run, this really only serves to find more time to cram things in.
Time remains the enemy.
Timeshifting means knowing when to speed up and when to slow down. It means avoiding the temptation to unconsciously keep up with the fast pace of modern life. We must learn to control time or it will speed away from us and it will always feel like we are missing something. When you learn to slow down and be present, you can be peaceful even in the midst of busyness. Being present and mindful of the moment involves slowing down enough to savor our lives.
