You're assuming that people are focusing on the passage of time -- they're trying to watch grass grow, they're trying to watch a pot of water, waiting for it to boil, and you're just trying to make that less boring, less painful and less frustrating than it was before.
Assumimos que as pessoas estão a concentrar-se na passagem do tempo — estão a tentar ver a relva a crescer, estão a olhar para uma panela com água, à espera que ela ferva, e estão a tentar tornar isso menos chato, menos custoso e menos frustrante do que era antes.
