Subjective time experience

Time doesn't move at a constant speed—it expands when you're engaged and contracts when you're waiting, moves differently in childhood than adulthood, and can be stretched or compressed by attention and memory. Understanding this gap between clock time and felt time explains why productivity alone can't make life feel full.
