View submission: Does time really exist?
Our perception of time is influenced by how our brain processes and stores information. New experiences feel longer because they require more short-term memory processing, while repetitive tasks seem to pass quickly since they rely on long-term memory. Over time, the brain purges unreinforced long-term memories through dreams. If a task is performed infrequently without reinforcement, it takes longer to complete, making time feel slower when engaging in it.

Hmm, that's true. I never thought about it that way.
