The reason time seems to accelerate as we get older...

[Pluvious]

As I've continued to succeed at surviving each decade of my life, I've notice the disturbing pattern of time acceleration. If you are in your 20s or 30s, you have no frelling idea of what I'm talking about, and if you're in your 60s on, you are saying, well DUH mon, welcome to the club !

Ha ha

My SO is reading this book, "Moonwalking with Einstein," and as we'd been recently discussing this annoying phenomena, she shared with me the following quote she just ran accross...

"Monotony collapses time; novelty unfolds it. You can exercise daily and eat healthily and live a long life, while experiencing a short one. If you spend your life sitting in a cubicle and passing papers, one day is bound to blend unmemorably into the next—and disappear. That’s why it’s important to change routines regularly, and take vacations to exotic locales, and have as many new experiences as possible that can serve to anchor our memories. Creating new memories stretches out psychological time, and lengthens our perception of our lives."

Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything
by Joshua Foer

Well, it looks like I have both the explanation, and the solution !!

Cheers all

1. Fine if one is rich...

...otherwise monotony is life.

2. Not necessarily

In my life, I’ve had times with money and times when I was broke. Adventures and excitement don’t require money. They do require a creative and open mind.

3. You make it sound like that's a bad thing.

4. A change is as good holiday, they say.

Seems correct to me.
