Being a labour leader could be a full-______ job by itself. But as we all know, we have to wear multiple hats. Not only do we have a lengthy list of responsibilities in our union, but we have our day jobs as well, to say nothing of family, household, and other responsibilities outside of work. Nearly half of all Americans feel as though they don't have enough ______ in the day, 48% to be exact. That's according to a Gallup poll published several years ago. The number has barely moved since 2001, and it's not all that different from Americans' perception of their ______ in the 1990s. Productivity among American workers across every economic sector outside of agriculture has more than quadrupled since the middle of the last century.

The countless new apps and devices we have tools that only existed in the realm of science fiction for our parents and grandparents have been the single greatest factor in increasing our productivity. Yet they have done little, if anything, to give us back more of our ______ at least, not in any perceptible quantity. If anything, smart devices and the constant influx of apps provide new sources of interruptions rather than more productive ______.
