The past couple of months for me passed by really, really, really, really slow. In fact, I had one weekend where it felt like three years had gone by. I really don’t like time being *that* slow. But, well, it happened like that for me, and I can’t help but show you how to DIY.
- Turn off the television.
- Turn off your computer.
- Don’t use, and/or don’t have, the following devices: mp3 player, iPod, iPhone, telephone, cellphone, Wii, Nintendo, PlayStation, Gamecube, Xbox360, PSP, Nintendo DS, etc.
- Isolate yourself from technology.
- Don’t have any hobbies. OR, if you do have some hobbies, don’t engage yourself with them.
- You should be completely in the moment right now.
- Focus on your breathing.
- When you do your next task, focus completely on what you’re doing. Think of nothing else. Look at what you are manipulating, on the most basic level. This makes time slow down even further.
- You should get bored easily doing whatever you’re doing, because you’re focusing on it at that level.
- Congratulations, you’ve just used the concept of time dilation in your favor!
If you’re *really* tempted to live life at the speed of grass growing, be my guest. Really. I’ve given you the keys to my slowmobile.
