What activity makes you lose track of time?

There are more than a handful of things I could do that make me lose track of time, but I’ll settle for talking about the top three.

I am not the fastest reader, and I have often found myself reading passages on a page because either my mind wandered or I wanted to make sure I read something correctly, but if I can get really engrossed in a book then time slips away.

“Just one more page.”

“I’ll finish this chapter and call it a night.”

Next thing I know I’ve just kept going and it’s 3am.

The same thing happens with video games. There are some games, like the one I’m playing right now (called My Time at Sandrock) where I can just sink hours upon hours into them because of simple tasks that I keep thinking “let me knock this out quick and call it there.”

The last thing I typically find time slipping away from me is when I’m listening to music and painting miniatures. I get so into the motions and trying to catch all the details I can while painting that I forget to check the clock despite subconsciously recognizing that the 5-hour playlist I was listening to finally started over.

Well, while those are the three big ones, really I can lose lots of time to just about anything if I get sucked in enough to forget to watch the clock.
