A few years ago I started looking at time as I do our household budget. If we spend more money than we make, that is seen as a fault, not a virtue. Yet often when we get very busy, people see us as very dedicated and committed to whatever good causes or activities we get busy with. But overextending ourselves in matters of time is probably just as bad as overextending ourselves financially. A lot of things can suffer because of it. This is helpful.

I started a new job yesterday and this, among other posts of yours are helpful. In my last job, I also tried to measure/manage other "capacities" besides time and space--some of which were also illusive. The capacity of volunteers, for example. As well as my own, and other co-worker's capacities to handle work loads (emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally, etc.) My primary role was managing financial capacity (keeping us under budget). In a similar way, we need to budget time, and other "resources". Some of these are abstract as well and difficult to quantify it seems. Thanks for this Matt.
