A couple of observations. For me, when things are slow at work, or when I am between getting ready for trials, then times goes painfully slow. It is like the hands on the clock are running on molasses. On the other hand, when I am engaged and busy, times literally flies.
I think one possible reason why time seems to go "faster" as we get older is because the longer we live, the smaller the percentage of of our lives that is represented by any one discreet chunk of time.
For example, when one is ten years old, one year = 1/10th of one's life. When one is 50, one year = 1/50th of one's life. Thus the one year seems longer to a 10 y.o. because it represents a bigger chunk (or percentage) of his life. To a 50 y.o. one year is only 1/50th of his life, thus it feels like a shorter period of time.
At least this is the one explanation that makes sense to me.
Time is relative...
