What makes me lose track of time and find myself I would say is either Dance or when I am out doing photography. Being able to do the things I enjoy and love helps me reset, ground myself, and it reminds me why I do what I do. There hasn’t been a time doing either of those things where time hasn’t flown by, Read more>>

When I’m in the studio, time stops existing. The hours blur together, and I slip into a zone where creation feels effortless — like the music is flowing through me, not from me. I could live in that space for days. Read more>>
Bruna Lages Veloso
Through my two professions, biologist and illustrator, I can go to incredible places, both in real life and in my imagination. Being in touch with nature and the arts allows me to find my inner child, discover the happiness in simple things, see the complexity of life, and feel the curiosity and enthusiasm to continue.

When I’m writing my stories, I easily lose track of time; in fact, it’s almost guaranteed. I get so much joy from creating a fictitious world and getting to know my characters and following them on their journeys. Read more>>

Writing. Poetry. Novel. Short Story. Essay. Any time, any day I’m working the words, I lose track of time. Raymond Chandler, a novelist few of us read anymore, said that when the words are pushing the pen, he knows he’s on the right track. When the pen is pushing the words, he wrote, he knows the writing isn’t coming from the right space. Read more>>

That’s a simple one. My art. Lol. Once I get an idea for a new art piece, I visualise it and then have to get that image down infront of me and work from there. It’s amazing how fast time goes when I’m engrossed working on my art, tweaking it here and there, changing angles and so on. Read more>>

Making. Yes this could be a one word answer. Don’t worry, I’ll expand! When I’m making my artwork, or even just preparing my materials for the making, I enter a strange all consuming state, it’s sort of mystical actually. My focus is on my hands and materials and the process, and everything else falls away. Read more>>
Lisa Botto-Lee
I lose track of time in my studio. Once I start painting, I fall into this rhythm where everything else fades out. It’s just me, the canvas, and the moment. There’s something meditative about watching an image slowly take shape. Each brushstroke becomes a conversation between intuition, curiosity, and experience. Read more>>
Pascal Pedersen
One thing that makes me lose track if time is researching and reading up on current innovations across all sorts of science-fields. Reading up on these things gives me hope for the future of the world and how we will interact with one another. Read more>>
Khrystsina Vysotskaya
When I lose track of time, I’m always somewhere in nature. I need those pauses — moments when I step out of the constant flow of tasks and simply stay alone with myself, where I can hear the wind, the birds, and my own breathing. Nature brings me back to who I am: the landscapes, the horizon lines, the first flowers, awakening plants, forest paths. Read more>>
Yuliya Ozdemir
When I paint, I often lose track of time—especially while working on the tiny details of fur or feathers, capturing the sparkle in an eye, or the curve of a whisker. In those quiet moments, every brushstroke feels like a conversation with the animal itself. That’s when I forget everything else—and find myself again. Read more>>
Angie Mandl
Good morning, Mike, and thank you for having me! Losing track of time is a beautiful thing! Aimless photo walks – just me and my camera – have a meditative quality that lets me lose track of time and reconnect with myself. The moment I look through the viewfinder, the noise of the world fades away, and a calm settles over me. Read more>>
Stephanie Soto
Honestly, I totally lose track of time when I’m working on passion projects—especially anything creative where I’m building something from the ground up. I get super locked in when I’m editing, planning content, or helping someone bring their idea to life. Hours go by and I don’t even notice. Read more>>
Brendan McLoughlin
What makes me lose track of time is when I am outside exploring with my camera. Simply sitting still while watching a Great Blue Heron while it stalks its prey, or looking at the stars as I make long exposure nightscapes. Time just becomes irrelevant when I am in the zone. Read more>>
Janice McLean DeLoatch
Music has a way of folding time. The moment a song begins, the clock on the wall loses its power. I stop measuring minutes and start living inside measures and melodies. A steady beat becomes its own heartbeat; a long note stretches across moments so wide that the idea of “time” seems irrelevant. Read more>>
Victoria Purdy
There are so many things that make me lose track of time, like a great TV show or a good book, but the one that I find myself getting lost in the most, that also helps me connect with the parts of myself that I don’t get to sit with as much, is songwriting. Read more>>
Katrina Zemrak
Music makes me lose track of time — it’s where I both escape and find myself. I used to lose myself in writing and composing, but now it’s the process of mixing that captivates me. I’ve learned that anyone can create music, but it takes real intention and creativity to make something original and emotionally engaging. Read more>>
