charlotte 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Every month, week and day just seems to be whizzing past faster every year. I can't believe it is mid February, I'm wondering where it is going. And realising my parents are in their 70's, and stuff like that. Wow. Anyone got any tips for slowing time down? Perhaps a group effort might help? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Wish I did, charlotte. Why is it that winter goes faster than the rest as well. What's with that then? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Have kids. Because when you wake up at 3am, and can't get them back to sleep, time seems to go incredibly slowly. Link to post Share on other sites
charlotte 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Interesting, I thought that kids were supposed to grow up mad quickly and people say the time goes real quick. Maybe after the baby stage! Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The best I can offer is stay up late and get up early. You might end up tired though. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Best way is to do more exciting things. Obviously if all you're doing is mostly working and other things you do all the time nothing stands out to remember, it all appears to just fly by. Get out more and do more so that you have a whole lot of great things to remember. It helps to make it feel as though it didn't all just go by in a flash. Link to post Share on other sites

When I am bored the days tend to drag. When I am pumped and doing new things all the time - time fly's. Bottom line: older you get - faster it seems to go. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 True maybe on the the day MB (time always flys when having fun!) but I find when you look back over say the previous year it doesn't feel as though it flew by so quick if you have lots and lots of memories of amazing things you did. If you did little more than work your butt off or other boring day to day stuff it feels like it all went by in a flash. Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Drugs usually work to slow down time... but then you might not be able to remember that time slowed down... Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I can slow down time. You prepared for 10 years of training? No? Think about it. All you have in your life is time - for a limited time only - for most people. haha Link to post Share on other sites

Try eating a bar of chocolate one square at a time at fifteen-minute intervals. Indoor exercise machines are very good at slowing down time too. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Only way is to get younger, then each day will be a larger proportion of your age, and will appear to go more slowly. However, the downside of that would be that you end up like a baby! Link to post Share on other sites

PWL 0 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well my time here in Japan has seemed very short, I really don't want to go back home. Way too fast. But I have to, tomorrow morning. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Better that it felt too short and you can go home and start making plans to come back than the reverse! Link to post Share on other sites
