Episode 3123: Emma Scheib shares how shifting her relationship with time transformed her daily life from chaotic to calm.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nosidebar.com/making-time/ Quotes to ponder: “I couldn’t do the impossible, and add more minutes into my day, but I could slow down the time I had been given.” “Rather than rushing through each task on autopilot, I found that if I paid closer attention to what I was doing, time seemed to go a little slower.” “Neuroscientist David Eagleman has called time a ‘rubbery thing’, stating; ‘It stretches out when you really turn your brain resources on, and when you say, ‘Oh, I got this, everything is as expected,’ it shrinks up.’” Episode references: The Brain: The Story of You: https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Story-You-David-Eagleman/dp/1101870532 Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain: https://www.amazon.com/Incognito-Secret-Lives-David-Eagleman/dp/0307389928 Learn more about your ad choices.
