April 16, 2025 | Episode 5073
Host: Scott Smith
Episode Description
Ever feel like there aren't enough hours in the day? In this eye-opening episode, Scott debunks the myth of "creating more time" and instead shows you how to master your perception of time.
You'll discover practical strategies to make your days feel longer, more fulfilling, and less rushed—no time machine required! Scott shares his science-backed "anticipation engine" technique that can transform how you experience every single day.
Featured Story
Scott reflects on a conversation with his daughter about how each generation witnesses incredible changes, yet the basics of life remain constant. While recovering from a cold caught at a podcast convention, Scott experienced firsthand how time can simultaneously fly by and crawl along—proving that your perception of time is within your control. There is no hype, just real-world results that will change how you think about your daily schedule.
Key Takeaways
You can't create more time, but you can change your perception of time by managing your activities and focus differently.
The "anticipation engine" technique—having things you genuinely look forward to—scientifically changes how you experience the passage of time.
Constantly being busy makes time pass quickly and creates the feeling of not having enough; strategically slowing down makes days feel longer and more fulfilling.
Memorable Quotes
"Most people are very excited when they're growing; most people are very depressed when they're not growing."
"Around me, you're not going to get hype. You're going to get results."
"You don't need more time. You need more focus and a change in perspective about time."
Scott's Three-Step Approach
Embrace the "anticipation engine" by listing 5-6 things you're looking forward to in the next week, month, or year.
Deliberately slow down your pace throughout the day—take more time in the morning and don't rush yourself all day long.
Introduce complex sensory input into your day through music, visual experiences, and varied activities to make time feel richer and fuller.
