The thing you buy to save time should eventually leave you with some.
RESILIENCE
RESILIENCE
Anything bought to save time arrives with upkeep of its own. Learning it, maintaining it, tidying around it, remembering it exists. Some of these repay the cost several times over and some quietly run at a loss while still feeling like progress. The promise is made at purchase, but the answer only shows up months later.
Pick one thing you bought for convenience and ask where the saved hours actually went. If you cannot find them, that is useful information rather than a failure. Let the next purchase wait until you can say what it will take off your plate.
Which time saving purchase has never actually given you an hour back?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
