Why Does Time Seem to Move Faster as We Get Older?

I told my wife of 50 years that there should be ten days in a week, then we would have more time to get stuff done. She said she didn't think it worked that way.

Maybe its that sliding downhill is faster than climbing up it. Just have to figure out when I get to the top! I'm 75 and still feel like I'm climbing!!!

The time spent is the same. As we age, we simply remember less of it. Or, spend more of it napping?

they say getting older is not for sissies - i'm starting to believe that now at 68 but anything is better than the long dirt nap!

Interestingly, I read some time ago that this phenomenon is the only thing that crosses all cultural, religious, geographical and racial boundaries. Reportedly, every human on earth experiences this. At least I'm not alone!

Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end the faster it goes.

Time, of course, is a constant. Youngsters measure time in periods:
school terms, vacations, etc. As we grow older time becomes more
meaningful in absolute value; a meeting at a certain time, a flight
schedule, etc. Thus we note time much more frequently and it seems
pass more quickly.

Remember time is relative, when you are moving slower, everything else seems faster!

It's called anticipation Jerry, when we are young we spend
our time waiting for things to happen, when we are older we just don't care. If you want to slow time down, just hold
your breath for a minute while looking at your watch.

Of course, because it is all downhill from there.

I thought it was because I gained some weight and am further warping spacetime.

Although I was born in 1946 I think of myself as 88. I really move well for someone 88. Oh, I think we get slower--time doesn't move faster it just seems to as it's relative. The only trick is to enjoy it.

I was born a year after you and I think of myself as a 30 something, problem is my body thinks it's a 30 something that just got hit by a truck. Like the saying goes "If I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself"
