Life is so busy that we get lost in the mad rush, Sam discusses unconventional ways to both alter our experience of time and get more done.

We only have one life and we can't extend the physical amount of seconds we have. Instead, we look at how to increase the volume of experience we have in those seconds and ways in which we can experientially slow down time using completely natural ideas and processes for the body without any weird stuff. No meditation, no drugs, just common sense.

As someone with ADHD this process has been one of the most useful ideas for self-control and productivity in a way that is enjoyable and logical.
