To have too much to do in too little time
Contexto cultural
The '37.5-hour work week' is a standard in Norway, and leaving at 16:00 to pick up children is culturally protected. However, the pressure to be a 'perfect' parent while maintaining a career creates the 'tidsklemme'. The concept of 'Livspuslespillet' (The Life Puzzle) is often used alongside 'tidsklemma' to describe the effort to balance all aspects of the Nordic lifestyle. In cities like Oslo, 'tidsklemma' is exacerbated by long commutes and the high number of extracurricular activities children participate in. Many Norwegian workplaces now offer 'flexitid' specifically to help employees manage 'tidsklemma'.
Use it to sound like a local
Complaining about 'tidsklemma' is a national pastime in Norway. Using it correctly will immediately make you sound more integrated into Norwegian society.
Don't over-dramatize
If you are a student with only one class a day, saying you are 'fast i tidsklemma' might be seen as sarcastic or annoying by busy parents.
