Aging and time perception

As we age, time seems to accelerate partly because each year becomes a smaller fraction of our lived experience, and partly because novelty decreases and routine compresses our sense of duration. Understanding this phenomenon helps explain why childhood summers felt endless while adult years blur together—and what we might do about it.
