In this note, I conceptualize four models of causal processes that govern various dimensions of temporal experience. The first is classic determinism, while the other three are variations on the theme of self-determination. Efforts at self-determination are defined as forms of agency that I call time work. These agentic practices involve attempts to control, manipulate, or customize one's own temporality or that of others. I draw empirical instances of determinism from 705 first-person descriptions of circumstances during which time was perceived to pass slowly. Examples of self-determination come from in-depth interviews with 408 subjects.
