I'm 40 and it's been getting faster consistently since my mid-20s or so.

I'd say a year now feels about as long as 3 months did c. 10 years old. Summer rolls around and I blink and it's already getting too cold for the beach again.

People come up with various reasons for it, with a popular explanation being novelty or something, but I've had a bunch of very novel years and it never seemed to make a difference. It's just a little faster every year.

Kinda depressing to think that, by subjective perception of time, I'm likely already in the last 20% or so of my life.

It’s actually worse than that. If you live another 40 years, as a 5 year old that’s like knowing you will be dead at age 10, roughly the same amount of time perception.

You might not believe me, but it seems like seconds on a clock tick by at least 25%-50% faster than when I was a kid.
