Understanding Time Perception and Experiences

When you're five years old, one year is twenty percent of your life.

When you're fifty years old, one year is two percent of your life.

So you would assume that your perception of time would change

as you get older.

But the part that no one tells you is that your brain measures time in

experiences, not in minutes. If you spend five years working the

same job, doing the same routine every day,

those five years are gonna blend

together in one moment. Whereas someone else in those five years

could travel the world, they could have multiple relationships,

work multiple

different jobs. Those five years are gonna be broken up into many different

moments. The old saying is true, it's not about the years in your life,

but the

life in your years. Your priority should be to maximize your

experiences. It's so easy to forget this in a modern

day where the highest good is

all about productivity and making more money.

But I promise you, when you're on your deathbed,

the things that are gonna matter

have nothing to do with money
