How does 1:1 time work?

[That_Scumbag]

Hello again. I came across a few posts and blogs promoting 1:1 time keeping for ttrpgs, and undoubtedly many of you did too. To be honest, I am not sure how this is supposed to work or what purpose it serves. I mean, you are supposed to go with 1 real time day = 1 game day outside of sessions, but why would you do that? Why not just freeze game time while still keeping strict records? Is there something I am missing or missunderstanding?

ADnD1e specifically has advantages with that mechanic. Like training, get new spells and stuff.

Yes, but why pass the downtime at 1:1 instead of just taking the game time days it takes?
