Time Confetti

The term was coined by American author Brigid Schulte in her book Overwhelmed: Work, Love and Play When No One Has the Time. Brigid used the term to describe the small scraps of free time she had during the day. It refers to our tendency to squeeze in as many tasks as possible into these tiny fragments of our leisure time. While it appears that we are getting more chores done in the limited time,  it actually adds on to the stress level, leading a person towards burnout.
