Quotes to ponder:
“I couldn’t do the impossible, and add more minutes into my day, but I could slow down the time I had been given.”
“Rather than rushing through each task on autopilot, I found that if I paid closer attention to what I was doing, time seemed to go a little slower.”
“Neuroscientist David Eagleman has called time a ‘rubbery thing’, stating; ‘It stretches out when you really turn your brain resources on, and when you say, ‘Oh, I got this, everything is as expected,’ it shrinks up.’”
