Freelancing

I need to find more things that slow down time. For me, hiking and biking seems to have this affect. I think high-engagement activities that require a lot of my attention do the opposite -- things like watching tv, most of my side-projects that involve my brain power. I tend to think that anything on a computer tends to speed up time for some reason.   I suspect activities like reading or drawing (on paper) probably slow things down a little.   For the past couple of nights, I've spent time reading short stories, and the past couple nights have felt like they were quite a bit longer than nights have been feeling lately.   It is nice to spend time in this fashion, my only issue is that I'm not technically producing anything in that time. For many, this is fine, and I certainly shouldn't be trying to produce all the time, but perhaps there is a balance I can hit between these productionless activities and those things that I enjoy and want to do, but also which seem to make time flow a bit faster.
