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

For me, it all became just a blur of days melting into one another scattered with unique events. Some were remembered, many not.

For a few years now I’ve been attempting to consciously act in a way where I remain “present” in each moment. Be they repetitive and/or monotonous or somehow unique. That, however, remains a work in progress.

I have found that having a specific mission of sorts helps when it comes to achieving being “present”. It helps to anchor memory to an objective.
