In Oliver Burkeman’s book “4000 Weeks,” he delves into the fascinating concept of the pace of time’s passage.
Research suggests that as we age, time appears to speed up, and this phenomenon might be attributed to our lack of engaging in novel experiences.
When we settle into our daily and weekly routines, predictability sets in, and moments seem to slip by more swiftly.
You’d think this insight alone would reignite our curiosity, but for many, it doesn’t.
Considering various compelling reasons, including this intriguing time perspective, make it a habit to try new things regularly—perhaps every week or even more frequently.
Take different routes to work, explore new literary realms, savor unfamiliar cuisines, engage with fresh faces, or venture to uncharted bars.
Embrace these opportunities to infuse your brain with fresh stimuli.
The key is learning to relish a richer life through continuous discovery.
