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

I read something about this a while back. I believe the reasoning was that it was based on experience, memory, and information retention.

When you are a child, you haven’t experienced much so every moment appears to take forever, but as you age and live more experiences, your sense of time shortens as you’ve likely encountered it or something similar in the past.
