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.

When I paint, time stops behaving like time. Hours dissolve without leaving a trace, and all that remains is a quiet dialogue between the canvas and my inner world. I don’t chase inspiration—I listen to it. In those moments, I’m not trying to create something beautiful; I’m trying to understand something true. That process brings me back to myself every single time. Read more>>

Lately I’ve been writing screenplays and developing scripts for theater and that has me hooked! I find myself lost in thought creating worlds and characters that has developed into a new love for me. I am currently writing my second screenplay which has me excited. Read more>>

When I sit at the piano, time suspends itself, and everything rational gently separates from what belongs to instinct. In that moment, it is no longer just me touching the keys: it feels as if a passage opens, a subtle space where the mind falls silent and sensitivity takes the lead. Read more>>

Anytime I’m able to immerse myself in something creative and fun, I completely lose track of time. It becomes my form of meditation, personal therapy, and a way to center my soul. Working with my hands truly makes me happy—whether I’m creating something new and exciting or teaching what I’ve learned. Read more>>

What helps me lose track of time is making music. I sit down, start building a melody, and everything around me stays quiet. I connect with who I was when I first heard EDM as a kid. I told myself I wanted to do this. I still feel the same way. Djing also helps me focus. Read more>>

What makes me lose track of time and find myself again is playing guitar. The moment my hands touch the instrument, time seems to either fly by in minutes or stretch into hours. It feels like everything else pauses as I dive deep into exploring melodies, harmonies, and rhythms hidden within the guitar. Read more>>

Writing and recording music does it for me. I get so deep into it I sometimes forget to drink water. Everything else just disappears and it’s just me and whatever I’m working on. When I’m done, I feel a little more like myself again. Read more>>

I’d say a good book, most of the time a children’s book. I have a small selection of children’s books and some art books at home that I rarely open because of lack of time or energy. But when I open a picture book, I get lost and find my true self again. Read more>>
