Consumers often organize their time by scheduling various tasks, but also leave some time unaccounted. The authors … examine whether ending an interval of unaccounted time with an upcoming task systematically alters how this time is perceived … and consumed. Eight studies conducted both in the lab and field show that bounded intervals of time (e.g., an hour before …
