When I go travelling time slows down. Days and weeks become significant, a month feels like three. Whereas the past two months have felt like one. I much prefer when time slows down and I'd love to figure out how to make that happen when I'm home.

I try to seek novelty as much as I can. It's not about trying a new ice cream flavour, it's novel experiences. I might have to go into work for 8 hours, but there's at least 8 more hours where I don't need to always do the same things as before. And if you get a chance to work remotely and have no strong ties, you can pack up and go live elsewhere for a while.

I also experience this. We were lucky enough to do a three week holiday around Japan, which felt very long. Three weeks of getting up, going to work, and while I enjoy what I do, it flashes by.

I think the driver for me is routine. The more routine, the faster everything seems to fly by.

		Yep routine is the opposite of novelty. I'm curious what it would be like to work while travelling, if time would continue to feel stretched. I'd love to try the digital nomad lifestyle for a bit.
