Which means you'd keep your interest in the project... which leads to faster finishing of stuff. Or if you think about it in a timing situation... person A and person B are in the same class together with the same assignment with the same due date. Person A is a sports nut and goes to team practice every day for 2 hours, then hangs out with friends for dinner each night before heading back to the dorm and sitting down to work on the project for a couple hours each day. Person B has no life, and just goes back to the dorm to work on the project, but becomes bored of it really quickly and starts dragging on working on it. B continually works on it though, knowing that it's got to get done, and so ends up spending 5-6 hours each day working on it. They both finish it at the same time the night before it's due. Person A has spent only about half as much time on it as Person B does - thus, the person with the social life actually gets the work done faster.
