「時間がない」が口ぐせだった。仕事も家事もやることは多く、一日が足りないと本気で思っていた。あるとき、試しに一週間、何に何分使ったかを書き出してみた。 結果は意外なものだった。仕事に使った時間は思っていたほど長くなく、むしろ「何をするか決められないまますごした時間」が一日平均一時間半もあった。次に何をするか迷い、スマートフォンを見て、また迷う。そのくり返しだ。 そこで、前の日の夜に翌日やることを三つだけ書くことにした。三つ以上は書かない。多すぎると、けっきょくどれから手をつけるか迷うからだ。 一か月続けてみて、こなせる量はほとんど変わっていない。ただ、「時間がない」と言わなくなった。時間が足りなかったのではなく、決めていなかっただけだとわかったからだ。
この文章で筆者がいちばん伝えたいことは何か。

'No time' was my catchphrase. With work and housework there was a lot to do, and I honestly believed a day wasn't enough. Once, as an experiment, I wrote down for a week how many minutes I spent on what. The result was unexpected. Time spent on work wasn't as long as I'd thought; instead, 'time spent without deciding what to do' averaged an hour and a half a day. I'd dither over what to do next, look at my phone, dither again. Over and over. So I decided to write down, the night before, just three things to do the next day. Never more than three: with too many, I'd end up dithering over where to start. After a month, the amount I get through has hardly changed. But I've stopped saying 'no time'. I understood that it wasn't time I lacked — I simply hadn't decided. Q: What does the writer most want to convey? — What was lacking wasn't time but decision.
