The problem with running fast all day

Another year flying by? Another birthday that came too fast?

I get it. Time feels like it's speeding up every single year.

But what if I told you that you can actually slow time down? Not with some weird trick, but by understanding how your brain processes time.

When you rush around all day, time flies. When you slow down and focus deeply on what matters, time expands. I've been studying Einstein's theory of relativity and Benjamin Hardy's work on extreme goals, and I'm going to show you how to take control of your time starting today.

Featured Story

My birthday's coming up. November 21st, if you're wondering.

And like clockwork, I catch myself thinking the same thing I think every year. Is it my birthday again already? Didn't we just do this?

When I was five years old, waiting for Christmas felt like forever. A year was an eternity. Now? A year feels like a month.

But I've figured something out. When I'm rushing around all day, busy-busy-busy, trying to get everything done, time absolutely flies. Days blur into weeks. Weeks blur into years.

When I slow down and focus deeply on the work that matters? Time stretches out. The day feels longer. I get more done and still have time left over.

That's what relativity looks like in real life.

Important Points

When you run fast all day trying to get everything done, your entire life speeds up and years fly by before you know it.

Slowing down and focusing deeply on essential goals actually makes time expand and gives you all the free time you'll ever need.

Setting extreme goals with compressed timelines forces you into deep work mode where time slows down and you accomplish what matters most.

Memorable Quotes

"When you go fast, fast, fast, everything goes fast. The days, the weeks, the years, your life flies by when you do that."

"When you slow down, when you hold space for yourself, things change."

"Time slows down and you enjoy your day like you were born to."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Set an extreme goal that's so big it almost scares you, then compress the timeline to force your focus on what actually matters.

Stop rushing through your to-do list and start holding space for deep work on the essential things that move you toward your goals.

Focus on results relevant to your dreams and watch as time magically slows down and you find free time you didn't know existed.
