Time flies, perception of time as we age

[moon man]

I was always told this would happen but its getting scary now, like the films where the spaceship hits hyperdrive or whatever.
So every day does get shorter in relation to your total lifespan but the days months years are flying past, my Nan used to start collecting xmas money in a tin in January and i always thought this was ridicules, the school summer holidays felt so amazingly long.
So how do you slow down time ? get really board ? get up really early to compensate ?

well i guess i cant be board as time is going so fast, when i did a tedious task at work and did clock watching that really slowed it down.
so if i go out now and do say base jumping instead of surfing i am guessing it would go even faster still

time still moves slow, go for a 2 hour long walk and see how long it is.

a lot longer than 2 hours sitting on the pc or whatever

2 hours is my minimum normal daily walk, 4 hours on a long one minus picnic time

I think that may be a bit fast. I hear they're still sending people out with pitchforks and burning torches to hunt down the new fangled electrickery stuff.

This sounds too similar to where I live now

the reason is most people think as you get older you will have less to do so time goes slowly and you chill. the reality is as you get older you get more responsibilities and more things to do. so you have less time .

not sure about that in my case as i have been of work since last mid October, been busy with walking ect but my mind tends to be very busy, i cant sit in the day and watch Netflix or sit and listen to music, i guess these types of activity are a measure of time if you get my drift

It was something to do with visual image it slower as we age or something like that.

Yep been doing some googling as i don't post and run ha ha and i think its a common thing rather than being a me thing , i mean if i get any more active i will be doing 2 marathons a day but it keeps being mentioned that i am maybe lazing around
