Here
“How is it almost October,” is a phrase you have heard, or spoke, this week.
Your mind is highly attuned to the projects, work, and events occurring in your calendar.
It is less capable of experiencing the passage of time in the manner you expect.
Your mind slows down the experience of time when idle; this is why traffic or a long queue feels everlasting.
It does the opposite when you have a lot on your plate.
Your cognitive capacity is devoted to the tasks at hand, and time itself is not given resources to track.
This is not necessarily a bad thing; the state of Flow is evidence that devoted cognitive focus towards a task
can be effective and rewarding.
The differentiator between Flow state and how you navigate most days is presence.
When you are in Flow, you are here.
Give your brain a moment to be here, right now.
Time will still fly, but your experience of it will shift.
Where the coffee flows your attention goes,
