How is that surprising? "Time flies when you're having fun" has been a phrase for ages. I'd kinda taken it as a given.

- bnegreve 12y agoAlthough it's common wisdom I actually disagree. It may be true for short time blocks (days, maybe weeks) but I don't think this is the case for longer time blocks (month, years). - If you do the same thing every day, years will pass by very fast. - If you move to a different country for a couple of months, afterwards, it'll feel like you've been there for years. It's because you seen/learned much more. I've experienced that a couple of times, it's a strange feeling. I believe that this is because our perception of time is nothing else but perception of self-change.
- locopati 12y agoPerhaps it's not what you do, but the quality of how you do it. If you do the same thing every day mindlessly or in a rote fashion, then time passes quickly. If you are attentive to the moments of doing, even the same thing every day can feel fresh and new.
