“As you grow older, there is a definite feeling that time speeds up. This is because the markers by which we measure our time become further apart. When we are children, every second of every minute counts; we want to fill our every waking moment with some form of excitement or activity. As we grow up and become teenagers, we begin making our own plans - scheduling activities on a day-to-day basis - so our concept of time is altered. We then reach adulthood and our working life begins. The majority of our time is spent working - often in a job we don't enjoy - and time becomes measured by the distance between the things we enjoy, such as the weekends. A year is no longer 365 days; it is just 52 weekends. Weekends then start to fly by, and then months, and before you know it is July 1st, and hasn't the year just flown by?”
