re: Why does life go by so fast

I've read somewhere that part of it may have to do with "new experiences". When you're young, almost everything you do is new. As you age, you get more and more into a routine causing your perception of time to speed up. Unfortunately, with the way our society is set up, there's no real good way for the majority to break up the routine significantly and still contribute.

ya, that's the theory I had read.

Every day is important because something new is happening every day, so your brain is cataloging and remembering those days, and that gives you the idea that "SO MUCH" happened and time had moved slowly.

Now, you have less days that bring something new, you've seen cars, planes, a paper plate, glassware, that colorful tree, etc. There is no need for your brain to remember it or give the experience importance, therefore, time goes by "faster."
