By reset, you mean the effect lasts after the nature time ends?

Because if not, while walks are nice, my goal isn't exactly to have twice as long of a subjective experience but 60% of it is parks.

Yes. The gist was that your brain gets caught in a loop in which your perception of time was continuously skewed, leading to a constant feeling of hurrying / lacking enough time.

Spending time in nature essentially jumped your brain out of the loop, even after you returned from nature.

Think it might have been a summary of this: "Awe Expands People’s Perception of Time, Alters Decision Making, and Enhances Well-Being" (2012)
