If one thing has changed for everyone everywhere during the pandemic it’s our perception of time. We know that besides the objective measures of time marked in seconds, minutes and hours on our watches and in days, months and years on our calendars—in reality, time is lived and felt subjectively and differently, depending on the moment and our experiences.When these are ‘good,’ when we’re enjoying ourselves, when we like what we’re doing, we say time is fl ying. And when the experiences are bad, or we’re feeling despondent, living through loss or anxiously awaiting news, then seconds can seem an eternity.
