Why to Move to a New Place: It Slows Down Time

Works for a short while I guess, but for some people moving becomes a routine too at some point.<p>I think the essence here is that generally speaking we can slow time down by constantly doing new things. But I still wouldn't be 100% sure it has that effect on me.<p>It is true for me that completely routine tasks tend to make time go the fastest, but as to what makes it stall the most I'm not sure. When I'm completely entertained by something it seems to go fast too. Complete boredom makes it slow down, but boredom is not too desirable either. Something that requires effort but is entertaining at the same time would seem slower than complete entertaiment but faster than total boredom.<p>So in the end I think there is no hack, no magical way of increasing the utility/"speed of time" rate.
