You're not alone if the last two years feels like a black hole. Here's why, plus how you can make it more 'normal' now.
The biggest culprit of the time warp: the loss of our routines.“All the things in our day that helped us know what time it was ― they were gone. That meant it became easy for time to slip and slide around,” Ogden said.
Our day-to-day activities help us perceive time — if we are commuting, we know it’s morning, if we’re running out for lunch, it’s midday, and so on and so forth. Without daily routines, which act as markers of time, it becomes easy to get lost in time. The things that made your Saturday a Saturday, or your Tuesday a Tuesday, may no longer be there.also suggests that emotions significantly impact our perception of time.
“If we’ve got loads of memories, then it says, ‘Oh, it must have been a long time,’ but if it has very few memories, then we think it must have been a short period of time,” Ogden said. Just how distorted time feels varies from person to person. It ultimately depends each person’s personal experience with COVID and how much the pandemic has influenced or changed their daily activities, saidOgden’s research, for example, has found that social satisfaction is one of the biggest factors behind how people process time.
“For some people, this experience will continue for a long time and that will continue to cause distortion to their experience of time,” Ogden said.Ultimately, the pandemic has made people much more aware of time. We’ve had more time on our hands, which has caused us to become hyper aware of time and how it’s passing, Ogden said.
