With so many high-achievers in our community it was super interesting to learn about the moments when they lose track of time. We’ve highlighted some of those conversations below.

Off the top of my head, I can think of a few things that do just that for me. MotorCycling being the first, having been in love with anything on two wheels since the age of four, to hop on a bike now I feel I find a sense of calmness in the wind, an intent focus on the moment. Read more>>

When I’m deeply engaged in my nightly studio practice, the loss of time is driven entirely by the problem-solving that is occurring on the canvas. Read more>>

Oh, absolutely and always: reading. Over the course of my life stories have entertained, informed, challenged and even rescued me. I can get so lost in a novel that I forget to eat, to (ahem!) return phone calls, to go to sleep, to have any idea of time passing. Reading is one of the greatest joys I’ve ever experienced.

Whenever I’m drawing, I completely lose track of time. There’s something about the quiet focus of sketching and painting—translating what I see or feel into lines, shapes, and color—that pulls me into a flow state. Hours can pass without me realizing it. Drawing helps me untangle my thoughts and reconnect with my sense of self; it’s both meditative and expressive. Read more>>

Spending time in nature… walking, hiking, being outside. I always lost track of time and end up being out longer than planned. I love to observe the animals and insects, look at the sky, see the clouds, smell the air and just be immersed in it. Read more>>

Making art has always made me lose track of time, and I love it. Sometimes I have a hard time staying focused but when I’m in my creative zone I can stay glued to an art project for hours at a time, even through hunger and fatigue. Expressing myself visually gives me a sense of direction in life. Read more>>

Food blogging gives me a sense of identity that nothing or no one can ever take away from me. I can literally blog for hours and never check the time. Oh my goodness when I am surrounded by “good, good” food it literally brings me comfort and joy to capture every angle. Read more>>
