⏰TIME—A CONSTANT FACTOR.

People say the only thing that is constant is Change. But I wish to add an item to the list of the constant factors. Apart from Change, there is something else that is constant—Time⏱️.

In our heads, in our minds and within our psychology, time either moves too fast, ticks normally or moves slow. We wake some days and say things like "today the time had wings".

The truth is that the pace of time is abstractly renegotiated and reset in our heads. And hence, we see time moving either too fast or slow.

 Time acceleration in our heads is basically engineered and catalyzed by worry and anxiety. Thus, planning ahead, starting early, assembling what is needed beforehand is the best way to work in time or wait for time rather than running behind time.

When we were kids, the time movement from one Christmas to the next was usually slow. Growing up, Christmases came quicker than we expected. This is not because times have changed. 

This owes chiefly to planning. As kids, we would plan everything we would do come the next Christmas and all we had to do was wait for it to come—Time was always slow.

It is an undebunkable fact that now as adults, we have a lot on our plates, we are chained by responsibilities and commitments. But I tell you—yes you, that even at this age, when you plan early and well, you see time ticking and moving in it's primordial state (the normal pace). Thus, I'll be right to say that time doesn't go faster than expected; we are rather slower than expected.

Most times We fail to start things at the times we ought to. And the credit goes to procrastination. At times we outline the things we need to do then we get lackadaisical about them. At the end of everything, we start in late hours, wrong timings and then we turn to blame time for moving too fast.

We keep complaining how fast the time is flying. But in reality if we had actually moved a little quicker, walked a little faster, made those descissions a little bit earlier, time wouldn't be flying.

Actually, time doesn't change its pace, our engagements, anxiety or disquietude, and proactivity determines how fast or slow it moves, all in our heads.
