What makes you lose track of time?

What activity makes you lose track of your time? And do you cherish this use of your time or regret it?

I can become lost track of time in so many ways. In the spring and summer, I get lost in my garden chores for hours on end. Then in the winter, I either spend the days crocheting, doing jigsaw puzzles, watching TV, or play games on my phone.

I recently started playing a couple of games on my phone. One of them is logic puzzles, the other is called “cross math” where it’s like a crossword puzzle but with numbers, my favorite so far is the game called “Traffic Jam”, where I help cars get out of traffic jams.

In the game, I’m given a specific number of moves and I must clear the cars from the road before I can move to the next level. This game forces me to slow down and think about each move because moving too fast will just cause error. I have this problem in life sometimes and I would end up regretting the decision.

I don’t get distracted easily when I’m by myself. Often, it’s others who distracts me and it would take me a while before I can get back to my task, by which time, I’d be down another rabbit hole.

I don’t think I’ve ever thought about whether I cherish or regret using my time for such things as games. I look at doing things like playing these games and crochets a way to exercise the mind, like a form of meditation.
