Why does time seem to go by so much faster the older I become?

[Anonymous]

Is it just me or have you ever felt old when you see how much one of your favorite actor has aged? It felt like just a few years ago i watched Harrison Ford in Indiana Johns & Star Wars with my brother but it was like 10+ years ago! Why does time seem to go by so much faster the older i become (clearly time moves at the same speed as when i was a kid) but why does it feel like it goes faster? I'm still a young adult so i fear what it's going to feel like when i get to 30-50is

This video made me reflect on how fast time goes by when all you do is working and don't have much free time so every day is the same and boom your old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaI1Vv9MpYY

The more busy you are, the faster time seems to pass. As a kid you have no real deadlines or obligations so it seems to pass at a reasonable pace. The older you get, typically the more responsibility you have to take on. You are always rushing to get things done and there isn't enough time in a day or a year for it all. If you blink it will pass you by. If you don't change the way you live, before you know it you'll be taking crap before you next business meeting and have a heart attack and die on the bathroom floor. It's your life, you have to choose how you want to live it.

Because there's nothing new to amuse you. As we grow, we form routines, habits. We are technically on auto-pilot on a daily basis.

Wake up

Get ready for work/school

Work/Study

Go out with friends

Go home

Rest

Try going to a new place/country, and your perception of time will be slower, because there are new things to process.

If that happens to you it means your days are alike.

Probably because you're more aware of it.
