Why does Time Fly so Fast?

In the morning, people will wake up to their bacon and eggs for breakfast at 6 a.m.,
take a shower and brush their teeth right after, and walk their way out of their houses to go
to work from 9a.m. to 5 p.m. With a usual commute of nearly two hours, there is not
enough time for most people to have leisure or relaxation as they get home from work
since they must prepare for dinner and the rest of the hours are for sleep. These actions
have been performed on a daily basis and therefore have become the morning routine.

In Bruce Schechter’s article, Flies and How to Slow It Down, shows a note from a
psychologist named Charles E. Joubert from University of North Alabama stated that people
are structured with schedules and appointments where time flies rapidly when in the office
compared to places people rarely go. Time flies fast when we are not interested on things
that consumes or when there is nothing new. Repeating actions from day-to-day become
routines. The routines that are not worthy to remember because those barely leave a
remarkable impact in our lives is why we call two minutes seem to two hours. People used
to tell stories that are in the past, “back in the days” or “back when I was young”, the
memory have become too remarkable because those were the moments and years of
explorations compared to their present adult lives.

To end this essay, time is gold, and it is not reversible. What we have done for the
past milliseconds can be undone. A year may be the longest to a 10 year old school boy
compared to a 60 year old retired military general who spends his remaining time for
recreational activities to slow down the fly.
