I’d like to hear other opinions on the acceleration of time passing - why it happens.

I think of it as compartmentalization of information less pertinent to awareness. Basically forgetting because it wasn’t useful at the time.

Like when you drive somewhere new for the first time and see all the things along the way, you tend to remember that, but commuting on the same road, you can drive for 10 minutes and wonder how you got there. It’s just muscle memory at that point. You’re still looking around obviously, but that information doesn’t register at the same depth as new things. Eventually, entire days become compartmentalized away into less pertinent experiences to essential of surviving- thus making time go by faster.

Thoughts? nostr:note1pjqqzh5ty2rn4ze7ucft6mhvfgv24924hprg9g6u30pzjtm762cqdgptvp
