How to "slow down time." Take time to reflect, to capture and remember

Blogging is an effective way to capture your current ideas and influences.  What has influenced your experiences recently?

Lee Brower, a consultant for wealth management and a motivational speaker in Utah, pointed out in a workshop (I took the workshop in 2005) that "time appears to go more quickly as we get older."

1.  Time seems to go by quickly.   "Wow!  It's August!  The year is 2/3 gone!  That was fast!"

2.  How many events from 5 years ago can you recall?   What happened in 2011?  If you can recall 5 events, then the year probably appears to have passed quickly.  If you can recall 25 events, then the year appears "fuller" and "time passed more slowly."

3.  If we can recall more events, we get a sense that "time is moving more slowly" -- so Lee suggests that we keep a diary or blog of our activities.   If you have a place to look at, then you can store those memories.
