#197: Passing time at work

How did your time go this past long weekend? Fast or slow?

As you know, time is not constant. It expands and contracts, depending on what you’re doing.

Do something that you don’t like and time expands. It seems to take forever to get it over with. But do something that you do like and time shrinks. How long is a week’s vacation compared to a week at work? Not the same is it?

And when you get engrossed in something that you really, really enjoy doing, then time disappears and you with it.

Einstein showed that time, as we commonly know it, is man-made. Not only that, but your experience of time makes unique sense only to you. It is not the same as my experience of my time.

Here’s what this means: If your time at work is a drag, then find something to like at work. The more you find to enjoy, the faster your work-time will pass. Remember, you are in control of your time.
