Most people think time speeds up because life gets busier. But, as adults, we actually start sleepwalking through life. Same route. Same office. Same conversations. Same glowing screens. Our brain stops recording and starts compressing. Weeks blur and months disappear. Years feel like a long copy paste. The more our days look identical, the faster they vanish. So how does one respond to this extraordinarily monotonous world?
Do one unfamiliar thing every single day. It may not be a grand adventure - just something our brain cannot run on autopilot. A different route home. A new cafe. A new gym. A new face. A new skill. A new environment. One small disruption forces the brain to wake up and lay down fresh memory tracks. That is what expands time. Novelty stretches your days because our mind finally turns the light back on. When life becomes predictable, time evaporates. When you introduce friction, challenge and curiosity, time expands.
