He writes that you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/change-your-thoughts\/\">change your reality<\/a> by stretching how you perceive time. While you can\u2019t literally slow time down, you can alter how quickly or slowly time <em>seems<\/em> to pass and improve how productive you are as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/slipstream-time-hacking\/1-page-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Slipstream Time Hacking<\/em><\/a>, Benjamin Hardy suggests you reframe how you think about time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/slipstream-time-hacking\/1-page-summary#what-is-slipstream-time-hacking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in terms of distance<\/a>. Just like astronauts measure vast distances in light-years, measure your life achievements in terms of distance covered rather than time spent. For example, if you find a way to achieve a multi-year goal, like writing a novel, in a single year, you&#8217;ve effectively slowed time down and covered more distance in that period of time\u2014writing a full novel instead of a third or a half. According to Hardy, by reframing how you think about time and applying various time hacks, you can live the equivalent of multiple lifetimes in the years you have.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your perception of time depends on various factors such as your age, experiences, and energy levels, but Mylett suggests several ways you can make time feel more abundant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Make a plan.<\/strong> Spend the first 30 minutes of your day assessing your priorities. This helps you focus on doing tasks that matter most for your goals instead of just reacting to whatever comes up during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: How do you determine what your priorities should be? In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/168-hours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>168 Hours<\/em><\/a>, Laura Vanderkam suggests you focus on tasks that use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/168-hours#the-key-to-productivity-being-intentional-with-your-time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">your unique strengths<\/a>\u2014the things you\u2019re amazing at. Block off time on your schedule for these tasks first and delegate tasks you\u2019re not good at. Planning out your day or your week in this way ensures you spend most of your time doing what you do best, allowing you to make quicker progress toward your goals.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Divide your day into \u201cmini days.\u201d<\/strong> We all have only 24 hours in a day, but, by breaking this time into three smaller \u201cdays\u201d or timeframes such as noon to 6 p.m., you can essentially squeeze three days\u2019 worth of productivity from 24 hours. These compressed \u201cdays\u201d make each minute feel more valuable, which motivates you to accomplish more tasks in less time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/when\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>When<\/em><\/a>, Daniel Pink explains that our bodies have natural rhythms that divide our day into <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/when#your-internal-clock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">three phases<\/a>: a peak, a trough, and a rebound. You typically perform at your best during the peak, feel negative and lethargic during the trough, and recover during the rebound, where you excel at more creative, insightful tasks. The exact timing of this pattern depends on your individual chronotype\u2014whether you\u2019re a morning \u201clark\u201d, a night \u201cowl\u201d or an in-between \u201cthird bird.\u201d When you plan your mini days, consider slotting different types of tasks into the time periods when you\u2019re naturally best suited to tackle them.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Create a sense of urgency. <\/strong>Treat every task as if it\u2019s urgent. Mylett points out that the amount of time you have to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-complete-a-task-successfully\/\">complete a task<\/a> affects how productive you are and how quickly you complete it. If you have a work project due in three months, you\u2019ll likely procrastinate until the deadline looms. To avoid this trap, pretend that the deadline is closer to get more done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Some argue that fake deadlines lack the motivational power of real deadlines because <a href=\"https:\/\/redeemingproductivity.com\/fake-deadlines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">we know they\u2019re artificial<\/a>. Since there are no real consequences for missing them, they\u2019re easy to ignore or push back. Instead of just pretending deadlines are closer than they are, create real accountability\u2014for example, by sharing your deadline with someone who will hold you responsible, or by clearly identifying the real-world consequences of missing your target date. This way, you can create a sense of genuine urgency that pressures you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/be-more-productive\/\">be more productive<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Reflect.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/track-your-progress\/\">Track your progress<\/a> toward your goals weekly, daily, or even hourly. The more often you evaluate how you\u2019re doing, the better you can course-correct and use your time more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/track-your-progress-2\/\">Tracking your progress<\/a> on your goals doesn\u2019t have to be boring or tedious. Apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/habitica.com\/static\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Habitica<\/a> turn your goals and tasks into a role-playing game, rewarding you with experience points and virtual gold for completing habits, daily tasks, and to-dos. If you\u2019d prefer to track your progress physically instead of digitally, <a href=\"https:\/\/theherosjournal.co\/collections\/the-heros-journal\/products\/copy-of-the-heros-journal-journal-pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Hero\u2019s Journal<\/a> is a planner that uses a fantasy story framework to guide you on a quest of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-grow-as-a-person\/\">personal growth<\/a> and goal achievement. It contains colorable illustrations, motivational quotes, and prompts for reflection, gratitude, and identifying allies and obstacles.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if you could make 24 hours feel like three days?
