Sometimes, time feels like it’s flying or crawling, and that has to do with your brain. Imagine you're playing a game you love: the minutes pass in a blink because your brain is focused on what's happening. But when you’re bored or waiting for something you really want, every second feels like an eternity. It's all about how much your brain is paying attention and how excited it is.
Examples
- When you're playing your favorite video game, time seems to fly by.
- A fun birthday party passes quickly, but the wait before opening presents feels slow.
