Is Life Speeding You By? Slow Down Time Using Novelty (And The Case Against Routine)


Listen Later

Do you guys feel like time keeps passing by faster the older we get? When we’re kids, summer stretches endlessly, and in adulthood, it’s gone in the blink of an eye. 

Today we’re diving into the intersection of time, memories, novelty and neuroscience to figure out how we can slow down our perception of time and make more memories. Enter: Liz Moody’s Novelty Rule. It turns out, when we’re learning and experiencing new things, we create new neural pathways, and time feels longer/slower.

As we get older and fall into rigid routines and monotony, we’re not laying down new neural circuitry, so everything blends together and we lose track of time.

So how do we stop time from flying by? Tune in to hear about: 

  • The neuroscience of time perception 
  • My relationship with routine and boredom 
  • Explaining Liz Moody’s “Novelty Rule”
  • Easy ways to create weekly novelty 
  • Applying dopamine menus to memory-making
  • Why Shared Experiences is a key Love Language 
  • Keeping the spark alive in relationships with novelty 
  • Tracking and scheduling your new novelty habits 

Our show is produced by:
