Time Out is a phenomenon where time appears to slow down or speed up depending on how much time you spend on a given activity. Our research has proven that it's not just your imagination.
Causes of Time Out
Repetition: When you perform a task repeatedly, time appears to slow down as your brain gets stuck on a loop.
Boredom: Time flies when you're having fun, but crawls when you're stuck in a never-ending meeting.
Expectation: If you know exactly how much time you have, time speeds up, but if you're unsure, it's a real time waster.
Nostalgia: Time warps when you spend it with old friends, but contracts when you have to relive your childhood memories.
