Remember how long holiday breaks or 58 summer vacation felt like when we were kids? Now, we leave the office on a 59 Friday evening only to be jolted into the realization that it's now Sunday 60 night and we barely recall anything from the weekend. Entire years seem to 61 speed by so fast nowadays, right? 62 63 This perception of time moving at a leisurely pace in childhood, and then 64 quickening as we become adults, is a common experience, according to 65 neuroscientists. It's due to a few factors, says [40]Dr. Santosh Kesari, a 66 board-certified neurologist and director of Neuro-oncology at Pacific 67 Neuroscience Institute. 68 69 First of all, when we're children, a year of life amounts to much more time of 70 existence, percentage-wise. "For a 10-year-old, one year is 10 percent of their 71 lives," says Kesari. "For a 60-year-old, one year is less than two percent of 72 their lives." But more importantly, we're constantly being introduced to new 73 things and ideas when we're young that leave lasting impressions on our 74 memories. "We gauge time by memorable events and fewer new things occur as we 75 age to remember," he says. "And this makes it seem like childhood lasted 76 longer." 77 78 Which means by paying attention, staying curious and actively noticing new 79 things, we can slow down our perception of time. David Eagleman, a 80 neuroscientist who studies time perception, was profiled in [41]The New Yorker 81 and called time "a rubbery thing" that changes based on mental engagement. 82 83 "Time stretches out when you really turn your brain resources on, and when you 84 say, 'Oh, I got this, everything is as expected,' it shrinks up," he explained. 85 "The more familiar the world becomes, the less information your brain writes 86 down, and the more quickly time seems to pass." Here are three ways to make 87 your life richer and more memorable, thus allowing your time to expand. 88 89 Embrace New Experiences 90 91 Routines are necessary in life but are the enemy when it comes to extending 92 time. As we touched on previously, the lack of new experiences is what makes 93 time appear to speed up, so introducing novelty into your life is the key to 94 slowing down your perception of time. By trying new things—accepting 95 invitations and challenges or learning a new skill or hobby—this will form 96 "accessible memory anchors," as a neurologist might put it. It's as simple as 97 switching up your coffee order or getting a few coworkers to try a new place 98 for lunch or afterwork drinks. 99 100 Be More Mindful 101 102 In the past few years, there has been a lot of talk about mindfulness. But it's 103 often in the context of [42]meditation. In terms of slowing down time, you 104 don't necessarily need to start each day meditating. Instead, you'll want to 105 become more mindful in everyday life. Meaning you'll want to focus all your 106 attention and energy to what you're doing, seeing and experiencing right now. 107 Instead of multi-tasking and doing three things at once, try to be fully 108 engrossed in what's right in front of you. A [43]study by Harvard Medical 109 School found that those in an eight-week mindfulness-based program experienced 110 changes in the concentration of gray matter areas in the brain responsible for 111 learning, memory and emotion regulation. 112 113 Keep Track of Progress 114 115 We've extolled the virtues of [44]journaling before. But it definitely comes in 116 handy to help you slow time by taking time to reflect on your day, your 117 thoughts and your personal progress. It provides the context to make life 118 events relevant, and more importantly, memorable. That context is key. A [45] 119 study by the Wharton School found that we underestimate the passage of 120 time—especially when there aren't related memories to build upon knowledge. It 121 illustrated why you can feel regretful when another birthday rolls around too 122 quickly. Journaling and tracking your progress will ensure you don't feel 123 unaccomplished. The positive byproduct is that accountability will also serve 124 as motivation to do more. 125 126 FYI 127 128 [46] 129 130 The average life expectancy in the United States is 78.6 years, according to 131 the [47]Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 132 133 [48] 134 135 « 136 137 Day 8 138 139 The Win-Win Kitchen Swap 140 141 [49] 142 143 Day 10 144 145 Be Your Own Style God 146 147 » 148 149 [50]31 Days 150 151 Volume 12 / Year 2020 152 153 • 154 • 155 • 156 • [51] Boost Your Coffee 157 158 1 159 160 Boost 161 Your Coffee 162 163 • [52] The Trick to Achieving Your Goals 164 165 2 166 167 The Trick to 168 Achieving Your Goals 169 170 • [53] Don't Forget the Dry Cleaner 171 172 3 173 174 Don't Forget 175 the Dry Cleaner 176 177 • [54] Stay Hydrated 178 179 4 180 181 Stay 182 Hydrated 183 184 • [55] Save More Money 185 186 5 187 188 Save 189 More Money 190 191 • [56] Prioritize Relaxation 192 193 6 194 195 Prioritize 196 Relaxation 197 198 • [57] Get the Most From Your Cast Iron 199 200 7 201 202 Get the Most From 203 Your Cast Iron 204 205 • [58] Use Less Paper Towels 206 207 8 208 209 Use Less 210 Paper Towels 211 212 • [59] You Can Slow Down Time 213 214 9 215 216 You Can 217 Slow Down Time 218 219 • [60] Be Your Own Style God 220 221 10 222 223 Be Your Own 224 Style God 225 226 • [61] How to Deal With Failure 227 228 11 229 230 How to Deal 231 With Failure 232 233 • [62] Stop Sitting So Much 234 235 12 236 237 Stop Sitting 238 So Much 239 240 • [63] Dress for Productivity 241 242 13 243 244 Dress for 245 Productivity 246 247 • [64] Improve Your Gut Health 248 249 14 250 251 Improve Your 252 Gut Health 253 254 • [65] Become an Early Riser 255 256 15 257 258 Become an 259 Early Riser 260 261 • [66] Boost Your Credit Score 262 263 16 264 265 Boost Your 266 Credit Score 267 268 • [67] How to Read a Whiskey Label 269 270 17 271 272 How to Read 273 a Whiskey Label 274 275 • [68] Go Solo 276 277 18 278 279 Go 280 Solo 281 282 • [69] Clean Your Jewelry and Watches 283 284 19 285 286 Clean Your Jewelry 287 and Watches 288 289 • [70] Boost Your Testosterone 290 291 20 292 293 Boost Your 294 Testosterone 295 296 • [71] Swear at Work 297 298 21 299 300 Swear 301 at Work 302 303 • [72] Look Younger 304 305 22 306 307 Look 308 Younger 309 310 • [73] Boost Your Creativity 311 312 23 313 314 Boost Your 315 Creativity 316 317 • [74] Worry Away 318 319 24 320 321 Worry 322 Away 323 324 • [75] Make Better Conversation 325 326 25 327 328 Make Better 329 Conversation 330 331 • [76] Overcome Imposter Syndrome 332 333 26 334 335 Overcome 336 Imposter Syndrome 337 338 • [77] How to Stay Focused at Work 339 340 27 341 342 How to Stay 343 Focused at Work 344 345 • [78] Save Your Face 346 347 28 348 349 Save 350 Your Face 351 352 • [79] Trust Your Gut 353 354 29 355 356 Trust 357 Your Gut 358 359 • [80] Optimize Your Breath 360 361 30 362 363 Optimize 364 Your Breath 365 366 • [81] Sharpen Your Knives 367 368 31 369 370 Sharpen 371 Your Knives 372 373 [82]See all “31 Days” features » 374 375 Advertisement 376 377 [83] 378 379 Your concierge to a well-styled life. 380 381 Established in 2008 382 383 Made in California 384 385 • [84]Facebook 386 • [85]Twitter 387 • [86]Instagram 388 • [87]Valet.
