Stop To Smell The Roses

[trickykitty]

The more familiar the world becomes, the less information your brain writes down, and the more quickly time seems to pass.

When you stop to smell the roses, it's as though that's a totally new experience in that moment, instead of something that you are casually familiar with. Perceptual time slows down even if only for split seconds. Paying attention to detail makes time seem slower and longer and more novel and drawn out.

Also, I would love to have a conversation with this Eagleman guy.
