It is quite a phenomenon.<br /><br />Many, many years ago I heard this explanation and cannot remember the source, for what its worth I'll share this:<br /><br />The reason why as we get older time seems to go by much more quickly is that each moment becomes a smaller percentage of our entire experience. For example, when we are 5 years old a year is 20% of the time we've been alive, where as at 50, one year is just 1/50th. <br /><br />So, maybe that has something to do with the perception and the perspective. Regardless, its time to get moving.<br /><br />One final thought, so when are you going to write those novels?Skip Weismanhttp://www.workplacecommunicationexpert.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005572221369432591.post-22340357390238595782011-03-28T22:54:22.794-05:002011-03-28T22:54:22.794-05:00Time definitely seems to go by faster when you'...Time definitely seems to go by faster when you're older. Sometimes I think it's because younger people have less history and thus they are living and recording their experiences more. Other times I think it's because younger people have less to do and thus more free time. Lord knows I haven't been BORED in a long, long time... there's just too many things I want to do and I never seem to get to do most of them.<br /><br />Probably though I'm just making poor decisions about time usage and time management.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390287348675887544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005572221369432591.post-31684211593562812842011-03-23T12:48:10.081-05:002011-03-23T12:48:10.081-05:00Ron said...

A decorative plaque hung on her kitchen wall bearing a short paradox, the sentiment of which I will never forget.<br /><br />My aging memory recalls the following paraphrase of those wise words: "Sometimes the days seem to drag on forever...but the years flash by in a moment."<br /><br />My sister-in-law had placed the plaque on her wall in the context of recognizing the busy and relentless hard work required to rear children and help them develop into young adults. But I took the sentence to apply to the perception of time that any worthwhile human activity will impose on us, if we work hard at it and try to do it well.<br />March 23, 2011 12:36 PMRonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005572221369432591.post-30105052383867437872011-03-23T08:53:08.245-05:002011-03-23T08:53:08.245-05:00I didn't know you were a West Pointer.

The way to make these all happen is to plan each day's priorities and let nothing interfere or interrupt the time you've allocated for specific activities. And be clear with everyone around you (including me) about your priorities. :-)Meredith Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12321208187429058877noreply@blogger.com
