Which activities make you lose track of time?

Hey everyone!

I hope this blog finds you in a cheerful mood. Today, I’m excited to delve into the writing prompt question: “Which activities make you lose track of time?” Yes, I would love to reveal my secret in this matter… Ha ha ha!😂😂

Practically, time is measured using clocks and calendars. This measurement helps us organize our lives, plan events, and maintain schedules. But, psychologically, time can be perceived differently depending on circumstances.

When I am enjoying my painting, time seems to fly and I feel the day is shortened. On the other hand, whenever I am waiting for the train at the platform, my wristwatch seems to slow as time drags during those periods of boredom.

The Curious Case of the Two Clocks

That’s because we have two clocks ticking inside us: the Enjoyment Clock and the Boredom Clock. The Enjoyment Clock runs super fast, making those happy moments zoom by. The Boredom Clock, well, that one runs on molasses, stretching out every dreadful minute.

Remember those endless summer vacations as a kid? Pure Enjoyment Clock territory! But those dreaded physics lectures? Pure Boredom Clock torture. for me.😘

Now, as a delightful retiree sipping my morning tea, it feels like time is sprinting ahead. But why?

Because I’m finally free to chase all those things that set my Enjoyment Clock racing — creating new videos, crafting blog posts like this one, exploring exciting hobbies, and soaking up precious moments with loved ones.

My fast-forward button gets pushed when

For me, the fast-forward button gets pushed whenever I grab my paintbrushes. The world melts away as I blend colors, each stroke a tiny victory on the blank canvas.

The scent of fresh paint, the satisfying scratch of the brush – it’s a full-body experience that swallows the hours whole.

Writing is another time warp. Whether I’m crafting a blog post or getting lost in a fictional world, the words flow like a river, carrying me downstream.

It’s a chance to connect with you, my readers, and explore the corners of my own creativity.

But the most potent time thief of all? Spending quality time with the people I love. Slow dance with my Granddaughter in the Park, spending time walking along the Sea Beach with my wife, Enjoying old filmy song with our old friends.

Yes, these moments are precious and fleeting. They remind me of the importance of cherishing every second and making the most of the time we have.

How quickly the years flew by

Looking back on my career, it’s mind-blowing how quickly the years flew by. From the electric thrill of starting out to the challenges and triumphs along the way, it’s all a beautiful blur now.

But even though that chapter is closed, I’m overflowing with gratitude for the experiences that made me who I am today.

Friends, as I sipping my tea and contemplate these thoughts, Dr. Seuss’s words ring true: “How did it get so late so soon?” Time is a tricky thing, fleeting and precious. That’s why we need to grab every moment with both hands and create memories that sparkle brighter than any diamond.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your paintbrush, pick up your pen, or snuggle up with your loved ones.Let’s lose track of time together, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
