Time affluence is defined as the sense that one has ample time available on a daily basis. Tim Kasser is credited with coining the term. In 2009, Kasser published a co-authored paper with Kennon Sheldon in which they reported on the results from four empirical studies, all indicating time affluence has positive impacts when it comes to a person's well-being.[1]

Time famine is a related concept first introduced by Leslie Perlow in 1999.[2] Time famine is defined as the sense that one has when there is too much to do and not enough time available to do it. In Perlow's ethnographic research about a software engineering team, she found they often struggled to complete individual work due to constant interruptions. Perlow noted that, coupled with the pressure to meet deadlines and a culture that rewarded individuals who resolved crises, the engineers were caught in a vicious cycle when it came to how they felt about the tasks they needed to do and the time available.
