Our Brain Loses Track When We’re Busy and Happy
When we’re having fun, our brains are full of excitement and activity. We’re focused on what we’re doing, playing, laughing, exploring, so we don’t notice the clock ticking. Our brain pays less attention to time and more to the joyful moment. That’s why an hour of fun can feel like just a few minutes.
Dull Moments Make Time Feel Slow
When we’re bored or waiting, we notice every second. The brain doesn’t have much to focus on, so it pays extra attention to time. Watching the clock makes it feel even slower. So, fun makes time fly, and boredom makes it crawl; it’s all about how our brains experience the moment.
