Have you ever noticed the more you look at the clock, the faster time flies? What is it, then, that makes days during holidays feel longer if they have the same 24 hours any other day has?

In today's episode of Connecting the Golden Dots, I invite you to take a breather, become more mindful of how you spend your time, and reflect on the impact of stepping away from the clock for a moment. As we age, our perception of time shifts, and the sensation that days grow shorter only intensifies. There's no point in trying to stop time; it moves forward relentlessly—many brilliant minds have tried and failed. While we can't slow time itself, we can make it feel less fleeting and learn to savor our 24 hours twice as much.

Tune in as we dive deep into practical ways of turning your days longer, learn to balance routine tasks with new experiences, and explore tools to keep our minds as sharp as possible. You'll also hear about why social media is so effective at distorting our sense of time, the difference between "clock time" and "mind time," and much more.
