Want to know why life feels like it’s flying past you? Your brain doesn’t track time like a clock. It tracks change. When every day looks the same, it stops forming clear memories. Days, months, and years get compressed. That’s why time feels like it’s speeding up. This is called time compression. To slow it down: • Break one routine this week • Take a different route • Try something new • Write one good moment before bed • Stay in the task you’re doing instead of rushing to the next one Your brain records novelty. Give it something worth remembering. Life doesn’t speed up. Routine just makes it look that way.
