Get up. Start to work. Final work. Have dinner. Do some things. Sleep. Rinse and repeat.
Sometimes it may seem like weeks, months or even years, pass without feeling that it happened a lot.
As a time management coach, I help customers do many tasks in automatic life so they can achieve more in less time and less effort. To optimize our efficiency and effectiveness, routine is a necessary part of our lives. The only problem is when you are so systematized that you are not experiencing joy and meaning in your life. You are just checking the things on the list.
But what would happen if there could be some simple and accessible ways to slow down the passage of time and full time in your life? I’m here to sacrifice you good news: there are.
With these three simple tricks, you can begin to feel that you have experienced the adjustment of your days through them.
Savor little things
The simple and daily moments of life can be satisfactory incredible, if you leave a subject. But very often, we hurry through an activity or multitars so much that it simply happens to us.
Researchers encourage conscious attention where they realize what is happening in family experiences to sensitize the joy they offer.
I discovered that some small and intentional choices can make a big difference in my life. A ritual that I have incorporated when the weather is pleasant is to locate out of lunch and eat without doing anything else. This little break to stop and notice the grass, trees, flowers, birds and anything else that surrounds me helps me to experience the beauty of the season.
Another option I have done is when I hold my Marchter at night before bedtime to keep my phone away from me. It is not much time, only about 10 minutes, before placing it in your crib to spend the night. Althegh, time is short, I find some of the moments that I stop and appreciate the gift of his precious life. She is growing very fast, and I don’t want to lose my daughter, I’m doing something with her or always trying to go to the next activity.
And you? Is there an area where you can stop multitasking and enjoy the precious moments that surround you?
Sprinkle in novelty
Another way to extend the feeling of time is to sprinkle the scripts of the most orderly who break their routine. When you are only doing your habits, your brain combines day -to -day experiences. But when you do something distinctive, you experience the effect of novelty where your brain has a higher state of attention and stores experience as a separate and different memory.
This might seem to register to attend larger events such as going to a new work conference or taking a vacation to explore a different place. Or you can add novelty much closer until the week in its week to help you feel that life is not on an edge.
On the professional side, small moments of novelty may seem that adding some lunches or network events in which it connects with new people and you see new places. Or it might seem like learning a new ability you didn’t try before. Or it might seem to configure your computer in a new coworking or cafeteria space.
On the personal side, a local festival could instead see Netflix, visit a new restaurant in the city introduced to go to the place where it is a usual, or try a new class of training instead of going to the one he attended for years.
It is completely well, and well, having routines and doing standard things that you enjoy. But mixing your experience from time to time can help you stop your subjective experience of time.

Stop trying to keep up
At a time not long ago or far, there were no smartphones, neither applications or transmission services. And life was fine, good.
Another way to slow down is to eliminate the pressure that only because I could do something I should. Just because some that you continue published something you need to read it. The fact that some important world event occurs does not mean that it should be an expert in it. The fact that a new season of a program that you like does not mean that you should see it now, ever heard.
Most of the content created in the world is completely optional for you to read or consume. Leaving aside the need to participate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, can drastically increase your feeling of being relaxed and, as if you have more time.
In my personal life, I have placed limits in the use of social networks. I have no accounts in some social media applications, and for those in which I get involved, I try to limit myself to a few times a week. When I make itching get involved more frequently, I try to collect a book. It is much more satisfying to overcome a relevant book than to move extremely through a feed.
Is it pressed to maintain the content where you do not have the real responsibility to participate? If so, how could you hurry your standards to open more time and space to be alone?
A lot of life is routine. That is not a bad thing. But when trying these strategies, you can slow your perception of time and experience deeper satisfaction at times.
