Timeshifting

When Dr. Stephan Rechtschaffen visits a big city, he often tests out his theory about how most of us perceive time.
Which would be haphazardly.
Rechtschaffen will spot someone who has just looked at his or her watch, maybe walking on a busy downtown sidewalk or waiting for a commuter ferry. He waits a moment, then asks the person for the time.
The person almost always looks back down at the watch. There is no memory of time from the glance just a minute ago. Rechtschaffen tries a few more folks at random. About nine of 10 people will recheck his or her timepiece for the second time in a minute.

I'd recommend reading "The Present" by Spencer Johnson if you haven't read it already. It says more or less the same thing, and in a way that is very readable. Your first few paragraphs were interesting and then I just scanned through the rest of it...

Or you could have said "Manage you time better, and take time out to enjoy the things around you. I understood this by reading a book written by somebody". Phew dude! I can't believe you could write so much about time. You must have a lot of it.
