It is connected with move and change everywhere around.

Man has an inbuilt metronome, a heart. It is not perfect and can race while being chased by a hungry lion or skip a beat when confronted by a beautiful lady or somersault when your team wins or you get a big raise. But it does come with a life-time guarantee. Its tempo can change to follow the beat of a drum especially within our favorite music. It rests at night but never sleeps. Take good care of it and it will take good care of you. Good luck.
taking as reference to other events, how many units of time takes to make an action.
most of these reference acts are made unconsciously, but the basic and most common is taking the dawn and dusk.
but for example, if you are in an office, you can take as reference how many standard calls you take , where the standard calls lasts 2 minutes, then you compare if the lasting of the events are similar, longer or shorter .
