When you grow up, why do you feel that 'time passes in a hurry' and how to handle it?

When I was a child, I felt that one month of summer vacation would last forever, but I have felt that one or two months after I became an adult will pass in no time .... There should be many people. Steve who is a senior psychology lecturer at the University of Leeds Beckett, England, on why he had been such a long day when he was a kid, and what to do if he didn't notice that 'time had passed'・ Taylor explains from a psychology point of view.
Feel like time is flying? Here's how to slow it down

One day when I was a child, I felt it longer because of the phenomenon in which people feel like 'slow motion' when a crisis is approaching, and athletes who are extremely concentrated are caught in the feeling that time has stopped. According to Taylor, the ' zone ' is, in a sense, the same principle. When a person experiences a time-stopping experience, the brain sharpens the five senses in an effort to sense every event that occurs at that moment. In this state, the brain accelerates activity like a clocked-up CPU, so the flow of time felt by the person is relatively slow, and it seems that time passes slowly.

Likewise, for children, every day is a world full of new discoveries and fresh surprises, so the brain is becoming active trying to detect new stimuli. Because of this, children tend to feel time more slowly than adults. However, as I grow up as I grow up, new discoveries diminish, and every day is the same as yesterday. And because people don't pay much attention to events that they have experienced many times, and the brain becomes insensible to information coming from the outside world, it seems that the time around them flows relatively quickly. You This is the mechanism by which every day passes by when you grow up.
According to Taylor, there are two main ways to avoid 'one day is over when you notice.'
◆ 1: Have a new experience
The most effective thing is to increase the amount of information processed by the brain through new experiences. By putting ourselves in an environment we have not experienced before, the brain will carefully observe every event and process a large amount of information. Specifically, they go to places where they have never been, meet people they have never met, and challenge to learn new hobbies and skills. Traveling abroad is a prime example. Walking the streets you've never seen, meeting people you are not familiar with, and listening to words you don't usually use, your brain can get an amazing amount of stimulation.

◆ 2: Even if you get used to it, spend it carefully
That said, not everyone can feel free to go on a trip, and once you return from your trip, a day will begin again, with the majority of your daily routine work. However, even in things that are repeated every day, Taylor points out that by mobilizing the five senses and observing his experience carefully, he can receive as much impetus as new experiences.
For example, instead of looking at the smartphone while commuting by bus or train, if you look out the window and observe it carefully, you can discover the appearance of the weather different from yesterday and the signboard that was not yesterday maybe. Or, while taking a shower, stop thinking about everything about work and household chores, and it is effective to just focus on the sensation that the water droplets of the shower hit the skin or the warmth of the hot water that flows through the body. . You can feel more things even on the same day, if you stop spending your daily life in inertia and try to taste to bite slowly.

There are many people who try to live as long as possible with healthy eating and exercise in mind. However, there are not many people who try to take care of the 24-hour time that everyone is given equally. According to Taylor, there is a way to not only live longer than people casually, but also to increase the time to experience things in everyday life.
