Liked your post. I'm interested in time and it's efficient use. 'If you want a job done give it to a busy person', because they are better organisers of their time.

We all start with the same 24 hours in the day. In the past just meeting our basic needs filled most of those hours.

There wasn't sufficient time or energy left from making a living to give thought to ways and means of ending the cycle.To getting off the worktime treadmill with sufficient drive left to think creatively.

90% of time was spent earning a living,and weariness meant the 10% remaining was not conducive for creative thought to improve their situation. It was catch 22.

A catch-22 is a paradoxical situation from which an individual cannot escape because of contradiction.An example is:"How am I supposed to get a job if I'm constantly turned down because I haven't got a job !

But when the breakthrough came in the work leisure balance the situation began to reverse,and will continue to do so I think with artificial intelligence and robots serving most human needs.
