By noon on a Saturday, the laundry, groceries, errands and rides have already taken the day. The weekend feels like it got away from you.
Most of us assume the fix is a better plan, or something nice to buy. This episode looks at a different idea: that a small amount of time bought back may do more for a crowded week than another purchase.
You'll hear what researchers found when they asked thousands of adults about spending money to get time back. You'll also hear what happened when working adults spent the same amount on a time-saving weekend and on a material one, and why those findings are small and worth keeping in proportion.
If the budget is tight, there is a practical side too. You'll hear free ways to get an hour back, the tradeoff each route carries, and the one question worth asking about a single task this week.
