Stimulate your mind. You play any board games? Try learning another language. Literally exercise your mind. Wish I could help you further but I haven't really read a book in years so I got nothing to recommend.

Proofread and capitalize your writing. It's a mundane slow process. Put some Beethoven on in the background while you do it.
nah (beethoven is good tho, classical is my shit)
i learned the rules so i can break them at my leisure and i don't use caps because of my math background
Fine. It's quite cool looking anyway.
Surely trying to grab at stuff all the time is counter-productive to calming the mind. I don't have any other recommendations than serious meditation. Find a class, find a tradition, find a school of thought around meditation, and sincerely practice. I believe it would help, but whatever innit lol
thanks, i'll give it a shot
Well, I'm certainly no expert, but according to some, the mind is like a clear blue sky under a raging storm. I find that analogy good to remember. But, like I say, I'm gonna probably die having achieved no desired state of mental peace and regret it all.
meditate, listen to relaxing music.not looking for deh drugs, i already take everything and i've become immune to most of it

meditate, listen to relaxing music.
sometimes I have tea or coffee I find sometimes caffeine calms my mind.
sometimes only sleeping 4 hours can produce a relaxed mind, though I wouldn't recommend it all the time after a few times it makes the mind go the other way
oh also some exercise endorphins can produce a euphoric state
I have/had ADHD as a child and an adult. so
1st reply nails it.....batting one off will relax youHave a wank.

Meditation soccer?Try slow deep breathing, in through the nose out with the mouth. It helps calm me when I feel a bit stressed.

How about stop doing drugs you Dingle Dingle.
I don't know if meditation will help slow down your perception of time.
As we age, our brain acquires all kinds of coping mechanisms and distraction tricks to alleviate boredom and frustration. This is responsible for the phenomenon of feeling like "time passes me by as I get older" compared to the endless stretches of time of your childhood. Your mental frame of reference is irrevocably stretched and stretched until the minutes pass like hours.
Do some math problems or focus on learning more words from your native language or from a new language. You want to get your brain back into that mode of being focused on a challenging task. It doesn't have to be drudgery, but it shouldn't be easy either. The sensation of getting antsy or impatient as you slog through these tasks is the signal that you are slowing down your perception of time. Remaining focused and driven in the midst of impatience is pretty difficult but that is where the secret lies.
I'm a huge proponent of praying and meditation, so please don't misunderstand where I'm coming from. Meditation helps me with anxiety and (somewhat) with focus, but not really with slowing down time or being more mindful of the passage of time.True. Doing new things will slow down time. This is probably the best answer. But, I recommended meditation, not to bring life to a standstill as that wouldn't work anyway, but kind of for your reason of finding something new internally. As a meditation practitioner (well, generally, over the years, I could do way more), I can say that the results of meditation don't happen on the cushion, but will arise at random times in the future when we might find them useful. We'll just stop and see the world in a different way when we least expect it.

To add a little bit, I don't know if you can slow time, but you can make it satisfying and memorable.
Doing productive things, doing things that make you happy, doing things that leave you content and with the feeling of a day well spent, gives texture and meaning to a day, versus them just passing by.
That can make your days feel more full, and importantly, memorable. I think when you have a thousand mediocre days that all feel the same, and can be summed up with the exact same chain of memories, that contributes a lot to the feeling of time flying by.

i disagree. for one thing, i look at my life, how as i get older, as i gain more and more new experiences, my total of previous experience accrued looks longer and longer. it seems like every year is passing faster because 1 year's time becomes a smaller and smaller slice of my life as i continue to survive and travel around the sun. time is speeding up, it feels like. this can be shocking, for instance hearing that a favorite record is now 20 years old, this is shocking because there has been so much time between now and then, so many new experiences.True. Doing new things will slow down time. This is probably the best answer
this is why i think that fewer sensory experiences lead to a longer experience of time. with music, the brain is always moving, from one rhythmic or harmonic idea to the next, never really lingering on something for too long. if you are in a room with no music, your brain has less chance to be distracted by stimuli and more to contemplate it's own functions. once you linger on a thing for too long, it draws attention to itself, it draws attention to TIME. Family Guy famously used this phenomenon for it's "chicken fight" joke.I notice that time passes faster when I have music playing in the background.
