> But it's not just whether you have a sense of time or not, either. I've noticed that whether or not my sense of time is good has a lot to do with what I'm doing. When I'm engaged in left-brain activity -- most phases of software programming, for example -- I have a pretty good sense of time. On the other hand, when I'm engaged in creative pursuits, I lose track of it easily. In school, I always had a good sense of how much time was left in my math and science classes, but I never knew when my theater, film, or art classes were going to end. There were lots of exceptions to both, actually, but this was a reasonably reliable general rule for me.

This is quite true for me, too. When I was taking lower-division drawing classes in my first two years of college, the professors tried to teach us how to force our right brains into dominance, temporarily, while we worked.

This had interesting results... not only was the art easier, but the classes would just zoom by. Working in the right brain gives you a weird skewed time perception, and often times I might swear that only an hour had gone by when we'd actually been drawing for the full three hour class period. It was actually pretty cool.
