Acharya Prashant explains that the perception of time is often subjective rather than objective. He distinguishes between chronological time and psychological time, noting that intervals we dislike, such as commuting in traffic, tend to feel much longer than they actually are. This internal distortion can lead individuals to feel like victims of their circumstances, falsely believing they have no time for self-development or hobbies. He emphasizes that while we blow up the time spent on unpleasant tasks, we often minimize or ignore the time spent on unproductive pleasures. He points out that a significant portion of the youth's time is silently consumed by social media, particularly between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM. By engaging with low-quality content during these hours, people not only waste their own time but also empower mediocre influences. Acharya Prashant advises being honest and objective about where time actually goes by keeping a record. He suggests that instead of complaining about unchangeable factors like traffic, one should focus on the 'changeable' and utilize commute time for constructive activities like reading or listening to educational audio. To illustrate the potential of using restricted time productively, he cites historical examples of revolutionaries who wrote great literature while imprisoned. He encourages the audience to stop using unchangeable situations as an excuse for inaction. By reclaiming time from mindless activities and utilizing unavoidable gaps in the schedule, one can find ample space for growth and meaningful pursuits.
