Abstract
A time classification framework has been developed and presented which includes work time, committed (obligated and non-obligated) and uncommitted (planned and unplanned) time. The taxonomy is based on a synthesis and extension of the literature on economics, socio-cultural and psychological time. The classification system, when verified, will allow for more efficient approaches to product/service pricing and distribution.
