The 10-minute noticing walk: do days feel longer?
Sofia Mbeki · Aug 31, 2026
Hypothesis
A daily 10-minute walk spent deliberately noticing small details will make days feel fuller and less of a blur.
Method
Three of us took the walk every day for two weeks with no phone and no podcast. Each evening we rated how "long" the day felt from 1 to 5 and noted anything we remembered.
Result
Two of us rated days higher by the end and remembered more specific moments. The third found it pleasant but saw no change. Our sample is tiny, so treat this as a hint, not proof.
Mixed
Mixed, but cheap to try. It's ten minutes, so see if it works for you.
