Why time seems to speed up as we age

TLDR Time seems to speed up as we age because our brain's internal clock runs slower relative to the actual passage of time, making it feel like time is moving faster. However, experiencing new things as an adult can counter this feeling and make time seem to pass more slowly.

Timestamped Summary

00:00 As you age, time seems to speed up because of the increased responsibilities and the perception that there is less time to accomplish everything.
02:02 Time seems to speed up as you age because your brain's internal clock runs slower relative to the actual passage of time, making it seem like time is moving faster.
04:29 Time seems to speed up as you age because your brain's internal clock slows down, causing time to feel like it is moving faster.
06:42 Experiencing new things as an adult can counter the feeling of time flying by, as processing novel stimuli requires more brain processing and makes time seem to pass more slowly.
09:02 As we age, we become more familiar with everything, resulting in fewer new experiences and making time seem to speed up.
11:39 As we age, the experiences we have become so familiar that they barely register, resulting in time seeming to pass even more quickly because we're processing less new information and not getting as many dopamine hits, which correlates with the idea that time seems to go faster as we age and our biological clocks start to run slower.
13:47 The longer we live, the longer it takes for time to seem like a lot of time has passed, as each new unit of time becomes proportionally smaller in relation to our overall lifespan.
