Im reading an article HERE about why every year seems to get shorter and shorter. The article says we stop creating “temporal landmarks”, which are unusualalities in our daily routine.
It’s I’m interesting article, my theory is that our brain is like a computer drive. And it’s always full. When we’re 1-year-old that one year fills the entire brain. When we’re 50 years old those 50 years each get approximately 1/50th of the brain. Roughly speaking. And important year, I think may use more brain space than an uneventful year. And of course the brain doesn’t really divide it into years like that. I’m speaking roughly.
but the important events theory makes sense, in the idea that the daily routine creates unmemorable days that seem to have gone by more rapidly, makes sense too.
Interesting…
Have a Great day!
I just read a similar article.
Strange though, I always felt that the less eventful things that are happening for you, and for the entertainment of your brain, the slower time seems to progress then, not faster. ♂️
Interesting. I see your point, I definitely think the routine mixes the days together, making each less memorable.
