Things that may you go hmmm....
We all have the exact same 24 hours in a day. Yet lately, almost everyone I talk to says the exact same thing: "Time is just moving too fast."
But time isn't actually speeding up. Your perception of it is.
Have you ever stopped to think about the difference between a day that drags on slowly versus one that flies by in the blink of an eye? Is it because you did more that the day sped up? Or because you did less?
It’s actually neither. It is entirely about the way your mind is experiencing the passing of those hours—and the incredible news is, you can learn to control this.
When I was a teenager—which was perhaps the pinnacle of my brilliance, LOL—I sat down and figured out a bit of mathematical philosophy: as you age, a single summer represents a much smaller fraction of your entire life than it did when you were five years old. That is why childhood summers felt like an eternity, and why time seems to sprint the older we get.
Now, I may not have been the first person in history to realize that, but it sparked a lifelong fascination. I learned from a very young age that time is elastic.
Now I know that subconscious experiencing is the absolute best way to alter your perception of time. When your mind is stuck in a frantic, high-beta survival state, you are constantly chasing the clock. But when you train your brain to drop into alpha and theta states, you drop the internal friction. You slip into a state of flow where you execute brilliantly, clear the brain fog, and stretch the hours.
You don't need a new planner. You need to change how your mind processes the passing of time.
Let's do a quick pulse check—drop me a sign in the comments if you are feeling the effects of sped-up time today. 👇
