Ike★ 2,906 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Daughter is about to turn 7, son turned 4, I just turned 30. Why can't life just slow down a little bit. I feel like it's going to be Christmas again in a blink of an eye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Literal Nazi Rudolf Hess 278 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 The reason for this is because every year the ratio of that year compared to the rest of your life gets smaller and smaller so it makes it feel like time is going by faster. They best way to avoid this feeling is to go hardcore drugs, lose your job, break some laws, go to jail, get out, turn your life around and then start over fresh. I know this from experience. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,228 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Its actually because your life is not changing as much on a day to day basis, as if did when you were young(er). Think about it, every year was a new school year for you, things changed quite a bit throughout each year. You went to a different school every few years, you were coming across different people every year, you did new things every year. Now, you're a worker. You go to the same building every day, to the same room. And chances are you might be there for a long time. You come home at the same time, you already have your circle of friends, and you go to the same recreational spots every weekend. Its starting to become more habitual. When that happens, the days start running together faster. Which is why it feels like time is moving faster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol this sounds weird but it's actually pretty accurate. You need to get out of your comfort zone hardcore if you want time to slow down otherwise your brain is just processing known patterns with minimum effort and it seems time is flying.

Yeah he's right. They say time flies when you're having fun but it flies even faster when you're in a routine 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When you do the same mundane things day after day your brain basically goes on autopilot, it keeps track of less data because there's less divergence in what you're doing. If you radically rewrote your life and started doing a bunch of new and different things the perception of time would slow, the more new information you take in the harder your brain works, and the more it catalogs this new information to memory which makes a day seem more pronounced.

Considering that you are the wrongest, most embarassed poster on this forum, this actually makes me doubt it. But, on the hand.............a broken clock is right at least two times a day. Which puts you slightly below a broken clock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HolyAx 297 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 It moves fast cause of the routine as others have said. Once you completely break it things will be look fresh and new again. If youre the boss of your own work/not married then things can be really slow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
