455. Why does time start flying in our 20s?

About this episode

It’s a known fact that time moves faster as we get older, but what does this really mean, and can we slow it down? In this episode, we’re going to try to make sense of why flies as we enter our 20s - from memory, to novelty, eye movements and the effects of COVID. 

Watch on Netflix: HERE

We explore:

  • Different types of time: measured vs. perceived
  • What makes time feel fast and slow?
  • The effect of the pandemic
  • The relationship between time and age
  • How social media is making time go faster
  • The 4 ways we can feel like we have more time 

Happy listening!
