Acharya Prashant addresses the common student complaint of having no time for extracurricular activities, expressing surprise at this claim given the abundance of modern amenities and resources. He argues that the perceived lack of time is not a result of resource scarcity but a matter of personal priorities. He points out that while students claim to be busy, millions of young people spend hours on social media, which is a significant waste of conscious time. He explains that after accounting for biological necessities like sleep and hygiene, and academic commitments, students are often left with only two or three hours of truly free time for self-development. If this limited window is spent on digital distractions, it effectively consumes all available opportunities for growth.
