Shayne’s Unquestionable Theory on How Time Works
Pass your time well! Enjoy and relish (mmmm…relish) Shayne’s post: Time Flies So Fast! How We Can Slow it Down.
1. Time Perception is a Percentage of Life
“The apparent length of an interval at a given epoch of a man’s life is proportional to the total length of the life itself. A child of 10 feels a year as 1/10 of his whole life – a man of 50 as 1/50, the whole life meanwhile apparently preserving a constant length.”
– William James
Here is the link I couldn’t find when recording: Maximilian Kiener’s Why Time Flies project.
2. Time Seems to Speed Up As the Brain Slows Down
Yes, it’s relative!
3. Repetition Seems to Make Time Pass Faster
“ Routine makes time go faster, unique and memorable events slow down time. Although there is comfort in routine, it does make time fly.”
– Ronald E. Riggio, Ph.D.
Maybe it’s time to take a vacation!
