I'm about to ruin your perception of time and likely your day. Hang in there, we'll still be friends at the end.

I went looking for the facts about time because I've become a broken record. How are my kids this old? How is it already September? Where did the year go? I say some version of that most days. And at the same time (this is the uncomfortable bit) I'm trying to make almost every part of my actual life go faster. YouTube while I cook. Emails in the grocery queue. Podcasts on double speed. I even brush my teeth in a rush.

Today I’m sharing what I learned.

This is for you if:

You say "how is it already September" and "where did the year go" more than once a week
Your days blur together and you can't remember what you actually did on Tuesday
You've been told to "just be present" and thought, okay, but HOW

In this episode:

Why time speeds up as you get older
The two kinds of time: why a doctor's waiting room disappears and a weekend away feels huge
Why life feels like a blur and what the research says about memory markers
Living at double speed and what it's doing to us
How to be more present without meditating: the 5 things I actually do
Why it's okay for time to fly and the question that replaced "how do I slow it down"
