I think sometimes we underestimate how impactful 10 minutes can be. Imagine sitting in a call, waiting for folks who are late to join the meeting, or that's five 2 minute video ads on YouTube - Google is taking 1% of your day in ads.

I think it increases the perceived value of 10 minutes, especially when looking at the visual representation.

Once you account for your own non-negotiable slots it may well be 5 or even 10 percent of your (available) day.
