Time shortage is often not real but a result of misplaced priorities. Social media and trivial activities consume the limited time that could be used for reading, sports, creativity, and self-development. Time flows toward what we value most. Therefore, honestly tracking where our time goes is essential, because our time profile reveals our true priorities, mindset, personality, and the direction of our life.

Questioner: Hello sir. You have always said that having a rich overall personality is very important, and therefore you lay stress on the importance of extracurricular activities in schools and colleges.
But as a student, my problem is that I don't find time for extracurricular activities, and in fact, I see that as a general problem for a lot of people on campus. We don't have enough time to engage ourselves in extracurricular activities, and therefore student participation is not that great. Students are not participating, be it in sports or in dramatics or any other forms of extracurricular activities. What I experience is that there is a huge time pressure on us, and I just don't find time for everything. So sir, please say something.
Acharya Prashant: This surprises me. I used to think that schools and colleges now are focusing much more on the extracurriculars than used to happen in my time. I'm surprised by this question. Because the funds now are bigger. The campuses have more amenities. How is it that extracurriculars are not being promoted?
