Is there a scientific explanation for why time at work goes by so slow?

Cuz when I'm off from work the shyt just zooms by. I be looking up and whole weekends be gone

But at work a nikka be feeling like he been working hard af, look up and it's only been 30 minutes

Yeah I saw a YouTube video about it. Something about more memory input. It's a physiological phenomenon everyone goes through so you so you're not alone.

It's why your lunch break feels like 10 minutes while you're just cruising through Instagram but the very next hour feels like 2.

Watched pot doesn’t boil type shyt yet years fly by

It's because you notice it compounded with the fact that you wish you were somewhere else. I call it the "fukk this shyt" equation. Being at work*wishing your were somewhere else/ the amount of time you have left=fukk this shyt. When you're not thinking about time, or preoccupied with something, it tends to go by because you're focused on the task at hand and not time itself.

It’s perspective, you probably don’t like your job so you’re more cognizant of the time so it drags on.

You're focused on the time not the work you should be or are currently doing


now back to work pleighboi

Time always goes by slow when I’m somewhere I don’t want to be. My job isn’t one of them.

Here's your explanation. It's literally the theory of relativity in a nutshell


fukk Michael Rappaport tho

You best be working on a career you enjoy breh. You don’t even really look at the time when you enjoy what you do.

Cant relate because I love my career. Chris Rock broke it all down

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Probably because you either don’t like your job or you are too focused on the time.

If time isn’t on your mind it tends to go fast. It also goes fast when you’re in pressure mode also.

Ain't no job, career, etc that imma ever be excited to wake up and go to unless im working for myself

Do what you love so you’ll never have to work a day in your life

Is your work challenging? Do you have enough healthy pressure?

I find work to go by rather quickly. The combo of challenging workload, pressure, and constant deadlines makes it seem as if there is not enough time in the day.
