Why is time so fast?

Have you ever noticed that whenever you're waiting for someone, or doing something that you do not enjoy ten minutes can seem like an extremely long time, but when you're given that same ten minutes to do something you enjoy like playing a game, or a chat with friends it seems to fly past really quickly.

These days everything has been somewhat a blur for me. Time seems to be passing by so swiftly, and I'm left chasing it. Though I've been somewhat free, other than a few assignments here and there, I've been left feeling like I can achieve a bit more with all the time I think I have. Lately it's just waking up, looking through hive, doing some chores, chatting a little, reading, writing some reports, doing one or two exercises, and before I know it the entire day is gone. It all seems too fast. At times it's just very frustrating when I look at the time and see it's evening already.

I've been thinking of resuming my shoe-making lessons but I've been a bit discouraged, and afraid that if I add it to my schedule, some things will be affected. I still plan on continuing though, hopefully after I've submitted all my reports I'll get back to making footwear (Maybe even make a few shoe making posts).

It's still pretty weird how fast time flies these days for me. Usually I feel I should be able to do everything I've mentioned above, and even have time to watch a movie, and still nap afterwards but unfortunately that's not the case.

I've heard this theory that since time is relative the older we get the faster time flies because as we age each unit of time represents a smaller fraction of our life. Or in other words, a year feels shorter because we've experienced one year plenty of times and it is no longer a majority of our life.

The whole concept of time is a really interesting one, and at times it's just so hard not to feel like time is actually too fast or too slow. Or maybe I'm not managing my time well. Which is why I decided I'd make some sort of daily schedule for this Period. Hopefully I'll be able to make better use of my day.

Thanks for reading. I'd like to know in the comment section whether you've experienced this before, or perhaps you have a theory for why time tends to fly when you're doing something you enjoy. Have a very wonderful day.

Tide and time wait for no man.

Honest truth, thanks for stopping by.

Time is one of the very mysterious creations of this universe. Lately, I have started doing a workout, each step of it is comprised of 30s. The steps that are easier on my body don't feel as long as do the ones that are hard on my body.

So far as routine thing is concerned, I have observed that when I have more work to do as a responsibility, I do them all in the given time. When I have lesser, I become lazy. I think our mind sets itself accordingly

With this comment you've managed to capture my exact thoughts.

The mind is responsible for what seems like an imbalance in time even though there isn't one. When we do things we are used to time passes fast, and when we do things we aren't used to it passes so slow.

Thanks for stopping by

That's why time of happiness feels shorter than that of sorrows.

You are right, and I always feel like this when I have a lot to do that at end of the day, it seems like I haven't completed all tasks and the day is gone. 😂 But in reality, time I'd not moving faster, it depends on how we use our time

At the end of the day, it all depends on time management. Thanks

Very correct

Hi @b0s, how have you been? it was nice to read your post about your ongoing quest to improve time management which we both share. No doubt something can be done better I'm sure, you don't have to hang up the gloves before fighting the full battle. I recently read something interesting about being productive, maybe when I organize the ideas I will let you know. I would love to read something of yours about that passion of making shoes, you know I have thought about it too, although maybe not in the same way as you, but I find it very interesting, another coincidence. I hope you have a nice day!

Hello @marbrym I'd really like to here what you've read about being productive. Funny you should ask about my shoe-making, here are a few shoes I made before I took a break.

Funny enough, in a way shoe-making is the reason I started hive. I was introduced to hive for a while but I didn't feel I could write anything worthwhile or interesting till I started shoe-making then I decided to make blogs on my shoe-making journey. I tried other content and little by little I've been able to branch out, now I'm still able to post even without making shoes.

Turns out the comment isn't so long after all. Have a nice day.

Thank you for taking my curiosity into account. You are very talented, your shoes fit you very well, you can see that you are careful with details and they look very good quality. I hope you can keep doing them if they are your passion. It will try to order the ideas with respect to being productive and then I will let you know. Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me 😉

Perhaps you are right about the older we get, the faster time flies. I've been feeling that time has been flying really fast lately and I don't get to complete everything I set out to do in a day..I'm also afraid of adding to my schedule cos I fear I may not be able to keep up.

But have you for once thought that perhaps, as we age, we do not have as much energy as we used to when we were younger to finish things faster and to do more things?

Hmm, this is another angle, I haven't thought of. I've learnt something today, thank you.

Ciao piacere di conoscerti, complimenti bel post
