A Newsletter Author Reflects on Time Speeding Up in Midlife
By
Liberty
Summary
A personal reflection from the author of a newsletter (now on edition 646) about the subjective experience of time speeding up as one ages. The author, now in their mid-40s, muses on how time seems to pass faster than in their late 30s, and questions whether this acceleration continues into older age. The piece is a brief, introspective newsletter opening rather than a substantive article on any of the topics listed in the title.

· 4 pulledI'm now in my mid-40s. I find that time is speeding up and passing by much faster than it was before.
Heck, when I started writing this newsletter, I was in my late 30s. Where did all that time go?
In my mind, I don't feel my age. In fact, some younger people seem much older than I am.
Does someone in their 60s look back to their 40s and think, 'time seemed to pass slowly compared to now'?
