On being slow … Just this past Saturday we have

On being slow …
Just this past Saturday we have submitted an article for a review. It had been sitting in a drawer for quite a few years though. Time of some of the projects is like an elastic band or an accordion: the time runs slow, ideas are being born, they are slowly brewing... Then suddenly, it accelerates: many things are being done, people are working on various things, developing tools, collecting data, presenting some bits in conferences, talking to colleagues, etc. etc... Then it slows down again: the pulse is so low that we are not even sure if the project is still alive at all, but there are some signs of life from time to time, so we just let it be.. and then something else happens in life and suddenly it’s quite alive again, and time accelerates again, and lots of things being done in a short period of time...
This project started out first on a slow burner back in 2017. Then suddenly it got some traction in 2018. During few semesters in 2019 and 2020, I even had the opportunity for some research assistants joining the team- we made quite a lot of interesting things during that period. Then the pandemic hit, my funding was revoked, and the project stalled. Still, the topic stayed alive. One article was almost ready around 2021, but it never quite made it out there.. In January I was contemplating, that I should perhaps get back to those things.. Then, suddenly, at a workshop this February I was asked if there was an article to read about our work. I replied, “Well, if you would like to help us finalize it, then there will be one!” )))
That’s how the article finally got submitted this Saturday, in the last day of spring of 2025. Of course, we don’t know yet how it will be received by the journal or the reviewers, but I am so happy that at least it is already out of the drawer.. And perhaps, one day it will have a life of its own out there..
My sincere gratitude to everyone who brought this project to life, kept it alive, and gave it that final magic kick in the butt to get it de-shelved!

Now accepting new clients for psychological counseling
In these turbulent times, it’s okay to seek support. I offer sessions in English and Russian.

My approach is grounded in Existential Analysis and Logotherapy, helping you reconnect with meaning, direction, and authenticity.

I specialize in life transitions, cross-cultural adaptation, anxiety, burnout, and deeper existential questions
📬 Reach out if you feel it’s time to say “yes” to life.

How do feel the time? When do we feel it is fast?

How do feel the time? When do we feel it is fast? When does it slow down? How do we see time of our own lives? What becomes past, what is present, when does the future begin? How do we navigate it? How not to get stuck in the pastness? How not to get overwhelmed by future? How to stay in the present? Is it healthy? How does the overall circumstances, times of political and / or financial instability impact what becomes the optimal temporal focus? How does our temporal orientation influences our well-being and how to find the balance. These and many other interesting questions I had the opportunity to discuss today at DIS while presenting some of my research results and lived through experiences.
"Life takes place in time and life will appear where I have time. .. "
"What I take time for is where my life happens. " What do you take time for? Where does your life happen?
