As someone who works in media, this is EXACTLY what the industry needs: founders and executives who are smart enough to know how to monetize bleeding-edge content types and be completely transparent with their audiences.

there is really nothing anyone can do to get out of this loop. Unless you’re filthy rich and you can afford yearly vacations, and perhaps even move into the countryside, your only choice is to cope with it.

Most popular coping methods include practicing mindful meditation, deleting social media, stop binge-watching/binge-reading stuff, moderate exercising (adrenaline rush = more awareness), and of course going outside more.

the understated influence and control that technology and media has on your life. Just like with systemic racism, it is not the fault of the person but rather of the “innocuous” and ubiquitous technologies that are deep-rooted into modern society. You may not realize the adverse effects, you may not see the connection, but they are—nevertheless—slowly contributing to your mindlessness, like a cancer that takes years to spread.

Try and stay focused on your goals and accomplish your tasks and then through that way you will not have to stay focused on what other people are thinking about you which will add to more stress.

 All you need is mental discipline and a lot of social life. Don’t hide in the privacy of your own home. Go out, even it bothers you. Meet people, talk to them, see how that goes. 

Find a partner and make him/her scratch your back every night. That works wonders :) And most importantly, don’t worry. You have your entire life ahead of you. Time doesn’t change, regardless of how we perceive it, so you are not in some time-tunnel that runs faster than for anybody else. Accept that and leave your life without even thinking about. And don’t forget to have fun, which the true meaning of life :)

time seems to slow down when we’re exposed to new environments and experiences

Firstly, since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster, we can slow down time by exposing ourselves to as much new experience as possible. By travelling to new places, giving ourselves new challenges, meeting new people, exposing our minds to new information, hobbies and skills, and so on. This will increase the amount of information our minds process and stretch out our experience of time passing.

Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can slow down time by making a conscious effort to be more “mindful” of our experiences. Mindfulness means giving our whole attention to an experience – to what we are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing – rather than to our thoughts.

When you’re having a shower in the morning, for example – instead of letting your mind chatter away about the things you’ve got to do today or the things you did last night, try to bring your attention to the here and now, to really be aware of the sensation of the water splashing against and running down your body and the sense of warmth and cleanness you feel.

When you do chores such as mowing the lawn or washing the dishes, don’t listen to music on your headphones or let yourself daydream. Give your attention to the objects and phenomena around you and the physical sensations you are experiencing.

One thing you’ll find is that these chores become more enjoyable. And you’ll also discover that this open and alert attitude to your experiences has a time-expanding effect, since mindfulness increases the amount of information we process.

“Time pressure is at least partly a result of psychological processes and the perception of time’s value.”

 “People are often amazed at how much they remember from days that seemed to last forever in their youth. It’s not that their experiences were much deeper or more meaningful, it’s just that they were being processed in rapid fire.”
