You might have asked yourself before, why can’t we buy time at the store just like any other product. Because, sometimes, even if you wake up earlier than usual or you work until late, somehow, that to-do list just doesn’t get any shorter. In fact, the opposite might even happen: tasks accumulate since there’s always something new to be done. Checking emails, finishing a report for work, cleaning your space, or even just doing the laundry becomes a burden when you’re busy. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed with so many things going on at the same time.

Stepping on the escalator can pose an entirely new dilemma: whether to walk down or stand on the steps. For years, we’ve compromised by making the standers stay to one side to make way for the walkers. However, a study has shown that it is more efficient if nobody walks on the escalator.

Amy Chavez is an American journalist who lives in Shiraishi Island, Japan, and writes columns about mysterious Japan for several Western publications. We at Bright Side are truly fascinated with Amy’s observations about the life-changing lessons people can learn from the Japanese. When you first set foot in Japan, it’s hard not to be impressed by the social order and efficiency of everything.

Even the shortest trip to Japan can be a life-changing experience. No one returns to their country the same person as when they left it. I came up with the following observations and conclusions after talking to a number of tourists and people who live in Japan.
