Why the last week feels longer than the first month

Waiting is not linear. A trip that is 142 days away barely exists — the number is too big to feel. Somewhere around thirty days it becomes real, and in the final week each day stretches, because now you are checking. The distance didn’t change its speed; your attention did.

That is what a countdown is actually for. Not arithmetic — a calendar does that — but a place to put the checking. One glance, one honest number, and the waiting goes back to the background instead of running in your head.
