The Psychology of Time

Have you ever wondered how some people make such good use of their time while others work at a frantic pace and accomplish much less?

The obvious answer is that while seconds, minutes, hours and days are standardised, we all experience time differently. In NLP, ‘timelines’ are used to describe how our internal sense of time is structured.

When I teach timelines at NLP practitioner level, most people find that the way they personally structure time has a marked effect on every area of their lives.

In the following video, psychologist Philip Zimbardo (most famous for the Stanford Prison Experiment) talks about the many effects of our subjective experience of time.
