title: Pas le temps

I recently realized that if I’m too busy to take something on, I shouldn’t say “I don’t have the time”. In fact, I often do have the time. It’s not that hard to squeeze in some extra time for someone.

What I don’t have – and what I can’t squeeze in – is more attention. Attention is a far more limited resource than time. So what I should say is “I don’t have the attention”. I may have 8 hours a day for work, but I probably have 4 hours a day for attention.

*The difference between time and attention* (cache)

C’est intéressant car je me suis fait la même réflexion il y a quelques mois et je ne dis plus que « je n’ai pas le temps » depuis. Je lui préfère « je ne veux pas prendre le temps pour ça », c’est beaucoup plus explicite et moins hypocrite envers les autres et soi-même.
