If you asked me how much time it takes you to do one of your everyday tasks, I'd say accurately estimating the time required for such tasks can be challenging due to various factors that affect our perception of time. Our level of attention and interest in an activity, age, neural pathways and brain chemistry, emotions, memory processing, and executive function all play a role in shaping how we experience time. To manage your perception of time more effectively, consider building a structured schedule, creating and monitoring time estimates, padding your time estimates and deadlines, managing your energy and well-being, planning for tasks that require setup, and using visual and audio indicators to stay grounded while reaping the benefits of focused work. By implementing these strategies, you can build systems to manage your perception of time more effectively and improve your productivity.
