Description

Why does a fun weekend vanish, but a boring meeting feels endless?

Because your brain doesn’t track time, it rebuilds it from memory.

 

In this episode, we explore the neuroscience behind why time flies when you’re having fun and crawls when you’re bored. You’ll learn how attention stretches or compresses time in the moment, why routine days disappear in hindsight, and why childhood felt endlessly long.

 

The surprising takeaway? If you want life to feel longer, you don’t need more hours, you need more novelty.

 

Simple brain science. Real-life insight. Practical ways to make time slow down again, without touching a clock.

 

🧠 Listen if you’ve ever wondered where the years went.
