A 90-Year Human Life in Months ⏳️
How many months do you have left?
Pretty scary isn't it... So what are the 3 habits to make time slow down ?
1. Mindfulness
Stopping and smelling the flowers
Not thinking about other things when with people
Pausing at moments in the day and taking a breath
2. Try something new
According to Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks, our perception of time is largely impacted by the amount of novelty in our lives.
A We get older, it can become easy to fall into routines and go into autopilot mode - if we don't actively seek out new experiences, we may not have many of them at all
3. Focus on one thing at a time
When we jump between tasks, time seems to speed up, which can make us feel frazzled.
This is because our brains can only successfully pay attention to one thing at a time.
