It is an undoubted truth, that the less one has to do, the less time one finds to do it in. One yawns, one procrastinates, one can do it when one will, and therfore one seldom does it at all.

Summary

This quote highlights the paradoxical nature of human behavior when it comes to productivity. It suggests that when people have less tasks or responsibilities, they often struggle to manage their time effectively. Instead of utilizing their extra time efficiently, individuals tend to delay tasks, make excuses, and ultimately end up accomplishing very little. The quote implies that having fewer obligations can actually hinder productivity, as the sense of urgency and discipline needed to complete tasks diminishes in the absence of a busy schedule.
