Time Is Speeding Up (And It’s Freaking Us Out)

About this episode

The episode explores the feeling of time speeding up as we age and its psychological implications.

Episode Description In this episode, we talk about the strange feeling that time is speeding up. Days that used to feel full now disappear before we even get our bearings, and somehow 24 hours feels more like 16. Is this just what happens as you get older, or is there something deeper going on? We get into the psychology of time, how routines and responsibilities change our perception, and why life can start to feel like it’s moving faster than we can keep up with. We also entertain the more out-there possibilities… because honestly, it does feel a little suspicious. Sponsor - EarthRunners We absolutely LOVE our EarthRunners in the Morrow household.
