Remember when summer vacations felt like an eternity? Now, you blink and a whole year is gone. What if I told you it's not just in your head? Your brain is actively stealing your time, and this episode is the masterclass on how to steal it back. We’re diving deep into the bizarre and fascinating psychology of time perception to answer the one question we all ask: Why does time speed up so much as we age? This isn't just about feeling old; it's about hard science. We'll uncover how your brain’s "autopilot mode," driven by a repetitive daily life, stops recording new memories, effectively deleting weeks and months from your perceived experience. We'll explore the shocking biological truth of how your internal clock slows down as you age, partly due to a drop in the production of those crucial feel-good chemicals that make moments memorable. And we’ll demystify the mind-bending "fraction effect," which mathematically explains why each year feels shorter than the last. But this isn't a doom-and-gloom discussion. The second half of this episode is your personal toolkit for reclaiming your life from the acceleration of time. We’ll give you actionable, science-backed strategies to slow down time, from learning difficult skills to introducing tiny, novel experiences into your routine. It's time to force your brain out of its rut and start living in a world where the good times actually last. Ready to make your life feel longer and more vibrant? You can't afford to waste another second. Hit play and learn how to become the master of your own clock.
