If you are time poor and energy rich, you've got an unfair advantage!

Speaker argues that time and energy interact: having lots of time but low energy leads to procrastination and wasted time, whereas having little time but high energy (e.g., many parents) can yield disproportionately high productivity in short periods.

This is where time and energy comes in. Because in my experience, if you are time rich and energy poor, you are simply going to waste that time, you're going to procrastinate, and before you know it, all that time is gone. But if you are time poor, as is sometimes the case if you are a parent, if you are time poor but you are energy rich, you are going to get far more done in the short hours than most will in weeks or months.
