I am busy here at work when I look at the wall clock, it's already past 3 in the afternoon. It's already our break time. So my colleagues take a coffee break. Oh why time run that fast. I have so many things to do. I hope we can really finish the orders tonight. I receive another orders today. How can I ever make the time run slower? Haha. Anyway, this is what usually happens when a person is super busy. Happy mylotting everyone and take care!

Lade, when we are too busy with our works, we won't realized the time passes very fast. That's what i everyday experienced whenever i am getting busy with my daily works. How i wish the time is much longer, so able to complete more many things in a day. Hope you manage to complete your orders and send them out soon. Happy earning, friend...![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

time runs so fast when we are busy but when you are just sitting around waiting and doing nothing, you will realize that time can be slow. i wait for my daughter in school for 2 hours..when i go out and about i can realize that time can be so fast. when i look at my watch,..it's almost their dismissal but when i just sit and wait there i realize time can go slow..

Fro busy people time is too fast while for idle ones it runs too slow. I am busy as a bee and indeed time passes like a swift wind to me. It is too short indeed. Time is precious so I don't have any intention of wasting it. I have to take advantage of every tick of the hour to assure that it is spent wisely and productively.
But I wonder why there are some folks who waste time. Every weekend, I visit my ancestral home and on my way I could see some familiar folks just standing-by doing nothing. They are either just standing and staring at passers-by or just sitting and chatting as if they have nothing to do. I always ask myself how could they do that? Don't they have anything to do inside their house? Even if it is weekend and they need not go to work...why do they waste their time that way? To me, weekend is the busiest time even. At home, I have garden and pets to tend, lots of household chores, and other related tasks that need my attention but how come these folks seem free of any tasks? But even if I am the busiest person, I have no regrets at all. I love to be productive. I can't and I hate idleness more than anything else. OF course I have time for rest and leisure to balance my life but never did I waste time. Time is precious, once it's gone, so I make the most of it.![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

Time indeed flies when you are super busy.
But what can you do? Just make the best you can for the little time remaining. Or you can always do things overtime.![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

Hi, also noticed that when we're busy doing something, time really runs so fast. On the other hand, when we're doing nothing and just waiting for the time pass by, I've noticed that time seems to run so slow.

Yeah I also notice that time goes fast when you have lots of things you do and you somehow got off hook to what time it is. But when you do not have that much work then time slows down since you keep on looking at the time and you can see that time somehow goes slow.

I always love to keep myself busy during days when I have no work. It's either I will research on something or write about something. You are right, when you don't have something to do, the clock's time seems not moving anymore. Thanks for the response.

Time is like river once gone the water back never came back again and never catch it. Now time is more valuable for me. I observer when working start in mylot not attention on time and feel ohhh spend full 4 hours not see the watch. Nice you are busy in your order and I am busy in life house life. I love business.

Nice quote there. We can never really turn back time that's way I always try to use it wisely. I also spend quality time with my family and my son. He will just be young once and if I never pay attention to him. I will never see him again that way. Thanks for the response.

I can only share an anecdote: "Time is too long for those who wait." The opposite holds true as well. I read this saying in our library in General Santos City.

Yes, you are quite right that time runs so fast. Especially when we focus on something, time always passes so quickly. Maybe we should make our life moving orderly.

Yeah I can relate to that lol! There are two instances when time seems to run so fast: when you're busy doing some serious work, and you're having fun. I guess that's how life really is. We become so oblivious to the time as we are so engrossed with whatever occupies our concentration; whether it's just having some fun or what not.
You better stretch out a bit, get a breath of fresh air and take that coffee break. You deserve it!

for us adults time runs so fast because we have a lot of things to do and we have a lot of responsibilities. Most of the time a day is not enough to attend to all these things. That Is what I am missing from my childhood. You have no worries you will only play you are not going to worry about finances. At that time I always say it's gonna be a long wait again for Christmas, my birthday, my mom's birthday.
Well that's life. I just hope that even we are too busy with work or household chores we should always take time to pray and give thanks to the Lord as He is our Father and source of everything. Also don't forget to spend quality time for the Family as they are the reason why we are working so hard.

I love being busy and I make sure that every action I make counts for the best because time is more precious than money and jewelry, once it's lost, you can never have it back. We must learn how to manage our time very well, we must make sure that our time each day is well spent, for GOD, for family, for job and business, for something worth earning, for ourselves and others.. we must make every second counts..
Have a nice day!!!

Time surely runs fast for people who are really into what they are doing and enjoying it. On the other hand, time is too slow for those who are not enjoying the moment, irritated or bored on the things that they are doing and feeling miserable doing so.

when I was in school, i remember I used to wait for the Christmas and new years breaks. it used to be 8 weeks holidays then and it seemed to be so far and it took so much time for the year to end. But now how the last 10 christmas and new year passed I am shocked. It has passed like a flash. Time is become fast for sure and when you are busy then then you notice it more. It is written in the bible that as we near the end days, time will fly and I can see it. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead. ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

I love being busy at work so it feel like time is flying by. That is why i usually request to work the busiest days of the week. My managers think I am a real go-getter because of it too. I hate days when it is slow because I feel like I am there forever and the day is never going to end.
