Arnold Bennett's essay, "How to Live on 24 Hours a Day," argues that most people waste precious time by failing to manage their lives effectively. Bennett suggests that everyone, regardless of profession or interests, has the capacity to “live” more fully by strategically allocating time for personal growth and development. He advocates for consciously cultivating the mind through practices such as concentration and reflection, expanding knowledge beyond literature to encompass art, music, and scientific observation, and developing a balanced approach to work and leisure. Bennett emphasizes the importance of setting achievable goals, avoiding distractions, and persisting through initial challenges to ultimately achieve a fulfilling and meaningful life.
