Perception of Time and Novelty

The perception of time can be influenced by the novelty of experiences, suggesting that trying new things can slow down how quickly time feels like it’s passing. Engaging in activities that are new or exciting leads to a richer tapestry of memories, which can create a sense of a longer life when reflecting back. For instance, taking photos during various events serves as a barometer for how many novel experiences one has accumulated over time; months filled with memories appear longer compared to months lacking memorable moments. Therefore, actively seeking new experiences becomes crucial for enhancing one's perception of time and ensuring life feels expansive rather than fleeting.
