I just finished reading an excellent book titled "Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology" by Eric Brende. He spent a little over a year with an Amish/Mennonite community to find out just how much technology is "enough." During which, he realized that a lot of the technologies that were created to help us save time, really ended up taking time away from us because it separated tasks. You'll have to read the book to see how he defends this view, but, overall I think he's right. Some technologies have stolen just as much of our time as others have helped give us. Finding balance is the key.
I agree with Andrew, try doing one of Steve's 30-day trials and give up some things such as TV and see if you have an increase in available time. I bet you'll definately see results.
