Is there a reason we can explain time moving fast?

[CHL]

It was implied

On the contrary, I was more shocked that he was correct.

if you have to work and your job sucks, you probably have ways of turning your brain partially off so you perceive yourself getting through your shift faster. add that to the amount of time you spend sleeping and you will be left with a year that only has a few days worth of interesting memories. time is flying by because time is wasted on stuff you dont care about, breh

This, and the fact that we tend to try to do more things we actually enjoy in the little free time we do have, meaning that free time goes quicker too (especially now that we have access to so much music, tv shows, movies, exhibitions, etc...if you live in a big city there's always something interesting going on, and you won't have time to do everything). Plus friends to see and general social life. And obviously house chores that eat at your free time.

For me it's gotten to the point that I actually "schedule" evenings at home alone, just real "down time" to allow my mind to rest and just chill, maybe just put some music and read a book. I allow myself to get "bored" and just take things slow, and when I manage to do that I realized that that particular evening goes by much slower and is also quite enjoyable. I've also started going out less on weekends (I'm 35 too ) because I would wake up at like 11 still tired and would end up basically wasting a whole day. Time is about how you manage it, I guess.

Its a perception thing. When I was a kid I was always thinking of getting to summer because I wanted the school year to be over so constantly thinking about when school would be over made time slow for me. As an adult with responsibilities and having to balance work with other responsibilities it feels like you have a limited amount of time to do anything.

For cats bringing up work: we used to go to school for 6-8 hours, come home and do homework plus free time. Time didn't seem to go by fast as now.

I'm a cat who has that zen state of mind so waiting for my shift to end and other shyt doesn't even come up in thoughts. Once in a while at work it does, but nothing big.

Yes the weeks are flying by faster is because they sped up time , read hermetic literature

Time is speeding up so we can reach President Bernie quicker.

I was just talking about this with my older brother and he made a good point. Said that most of us work for the weekend. So while we anticipate Whats coming we just go thru the motions during the work week and we don't realize it's just passing by.

Your experiences are less unique and new in many cases, though if you make the effort, you should be having new and different experiences more and more, as you age. Regardless, things like heartbreak, relationships, friendships, family, it isn't the new experience it was as a child, adolescent. Partly why time seemed to last forever, like summers, or friendships, though in the larger frame of your life, they weren't. There are other factors, but this is a major one.
