How do you slow down time?

Like most of us, I get off work, come home, check the mail, eat, catch up on news etc, have a couple of hour (at best) to relax and then- BOOM!- days over. Anyone know how to slow down time- like maybe around 6 PM?

    take the batteries out of the clock...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Find an occupation where you work less hours and get paid more....it's the only answer.

    Good idea although at this point in my life, not likely to happen. I like what I do but there's never enough time to do everything. Maybe what I really want is a 32 hour day! :lol:

    You don't slow down time.

    You can't slow down time.

    But, you can MAKE the time.

    Just like you'd do, or sacrifice, for anything/anyone else important to you.

    It's there.

    Little pockets of time with "reserved for brian" on them :D

    I hope you can find them and savor each one.

    (pay is irrelevant in that sense!)

    I have 3 kids and my wife works late a couple nights a week. When I get out of work, I need to make the kids dinner, take them to practice, do homework, clean the house etc (they're 7, 5 and 2). Sometimes after they're all in bed, I sit in my living room with the lights off for about a half hour. No TV, no electronics, nothing. I listen to the sound of silence.

    I'm not sure if this is the kind of advice you're looking for, but this helps me out a lot

    i'm kinda simalar in a way, sometimes i get up early to take them to swimming, i make suppers alot, do most the homework and bathtimes.. ( i do these things most the time, but my wife is about 8 months pregnant, so i do it more these days) and mostly get them to bed, then have to go to work. its tough sometimes. seems like you don't have much time to yourself, and sometimes want to just sit in a darkened room in silence, even just for 5 mins.

    I like to jump in the shower when I get home. Just standing under that hot water as long as I want slows down time for me. I often shower before I even eat. Showering is a nice division between the day/work and your unwinding time. Maybe take less time catching up on news? I just read it online; rarely watch it on TV and I keep up with what's going on.

    Don't turn on a TV. Don't turn on a computer. These are huge time eaters.
