How to slow down time: Naturally improve productivity and reduce stress

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.

There are a lot of opinions on how to master your mind, but then there’s PSYCHOLOGY. We’re all stuck with the brain we’re born with, but we aren’t stuck with how we use it. Learn science-backed answers to make the most of your mind and your life. CURIOUS? Growth Mindset Psychology is the "self-help sceptic" podcast for the curious. Whether you want to improve performance, navigate setbacks, or know who you are. We find answers to the true science of self-improvement. So put down the astrology chart and start working with your mind, instead of against it. With over 8 million downloads and 60,000 monthly listeners, you’re invited to join. PROCESS Instead of telling you what to think, we discuss how thinking works. Armed with a stack of science journals, textbooks and a boatload of curiosity, we uncover the mechanics of the mind. Why? >>> Success is personal! You might want to make the most of your neurodiverse strengths, start a business, or simply find more reasons to smile. Hone your ability for independent thinking and growth with mental models to pursue your definition of success. HOST I’m Sam Webster Harris, a lifelong learner with ADHD, a raging curiosity, and an obsession with finding answers to hard questions. After launching several businesses, travelling the world and nearly dying a few times I concluded that science and Psychology are where it’s at. What actually makes people happy? What’s the best way to treat a brain? How can I get more done? Studying the answers we find that changing behaviours requires building mindsets, mental models, and a healthy relationship with failure.
