Abstract
With 2022 in full swing, many of us are packing our calendars full of meetings and projects, even if this means more work. Why do we do this to ourselves? What makes us want to keep busy, even if it takes a toll on our well-being? I (Ioana Lupu of ESSEC Business School) and Joonas Rokka (EMLYON Business School) found that how people experience time control at work impacts their perceptions of busyness.
