Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement
How to slow down time: Naturally improve productivity and reduce stress
21 Feb 2023
Life is so busy that we get lost in the mad rush, Sam discusses unconventional ways to both alter our experience of time and get more done. We only have one life and we can't extend the physical amount of seconds we have. Instead, we look at how to increase the volume of experience we have in those seconds and ways in which we can experientially slow down time using completely natural ideas and processes for the body without any weird stuff. No meditation, no drugs, just common sense. As someone with ADHD this process has been one of the most useful ideas for self-control and productivity in a way that is enjoyable and logical. - - - Connect with Sam: Join on Youtube - Growth Mindset Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking - - - Chapters 00:00 How to slow down time 01:05 TikTok as an example of bending time 02:09 Stimulated to do new things 03:17 Making new memories 03:56 Do new stuff 05:35 Memory is like a notepad 07:30 Ride that edge like a surfer rides a wave 10:22 Reframing feelings 11:07 Public speaking example of reframing fear 12:04 Vipassana example of reframing feelings 12:55 Fasting to reframe your relationship with food and hunger 14:24 Savor those slow moments 15:28 Nir Eyal quote 16:00 Bob Dylan quote 16:08 Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
