In modern society, people are increasingly falling victim to “time famine”—they feel pressed for time and that there is too much to do in too little time. Unfortunately, prior research indicates that such feeling of time scarcity can negatively impact people's mental, physical, and social heath.
So, how can we make people feel more rich in time? In my research, I focus on one possible remedy—a heightened focus on the present moment—and present both a behavioral and an emotional “intervention” that could be used to increase people’s present focus and expand their perceptions of time affluence.
