In my working years, there were days when I thought the day would never end. Like the clock ran out of batteries. Now that I have been retired for 5 years, it seems as if time is a flyin by. I know this is just perception as time is, well time. How about you? Does time fly now?

Kinda funny-ish. I was self employed from 1984 until I retired in 2020. I LOVED my "job", but still time seemed to move much slower then. Now? I love retirement with my wife and girls (dogs). Time is flying. Too much fun?
 
Our Brains remember and think really fast, thus its like Quantum memory leaps.
Time doesn't change for us. (It's how fast we membered it happened.)

How many times I drove into the rising sun, home to the setting sun. No way
I remember all of them, I can sit for hours adding all those 50 years up. U see it
all started with me before I was 10. Farmer kids do make stuff happen.
 
The phenomenon was explained to me like this. A unit of lifetime starts from birth and ends where you are right now. When you are 5 you experienced one unit of time. When you are 10, you have experienced one unit of time. But that first five years is now just half of one unit. By the time you are 50 you have experienced one unit of time, but the way we perceive that last 5 years of that is only 1/10 of the your life compared to the first 5 years which was a whole lifetime. Each year of life is perceived as a smaller and smaller part of the whole.

Mathematically, this makes no sense, but psychologically it does to me and at least to the guy that explained it to me.
