In an experience of reading a book or watching a movie, time can seem to pass quickly, or if the book or film is boring, slowly. When we are looking forward to a holiday, the second hand on a clock seems to be taking hours, and when the holiday starts, after a few short days it’s already time to go home!

We have all had a variation on this experience.

This experience is likely to be relevant to someone who has a time issue - not enough time to study, the tennis ball is coming at me too fast to respond to, or I have a boring task to do that will take ages.

Isn’t that easier to play with than the weird sounding “time distortion”?
