From the video

Answers: Why does time feel faster as you get older?

• perception of time as you age
• youth vs adulthood
• reflection on the past and future
• aging and life perspective

What it concludes

• The older you get, the faster time feels because a single year represents a smaller percentage of your total lifetime.
• When you are young, life is defined primarily by your aspirations and future, but as you age, your past increasingly defines who you are.
• Spending too much energy romanticizing the past or dreaming about the future comes at the expense of appreciating today.
• Life moves fast, and if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might just miss it.
