From “ Burned Out on Burn Out ” by Sanj Katyal MD: As we get older, time seems to fly faster and faster. And it’s not just a hackneyed expression (it’s that too, of course), but studies really show that we experience time differently as we age. One argument is that we feel time as a fraction of our conscious experience. 5 minutes for my 4-year-old daughter is a much bigger percentage of her life than it is of mine, which is smaller still than for my father in his 70s.
