    The experience of time has been a long-standing interest of mine. Most research focuses on short periods, like seconds/minutes, affected by emotions etc. There's not much afaik on how we experience years and decades.

        Long-term memory is under-theorized. At personal life level I think I experienced an 'end of history' moment when I went free agent almost exactly 8 years ago. But it feels like yesterday. OTOH I remember 2001-2011 as a much more coherent 10 year story story. That's atemporality.

        Depression research goes more into long term lived time experience.

        FWIW i have a system for going on holiday now, which is a long period of chilling out and doing nothing, bracketed by short periods of adventure, and/or vice versa. Chilling needed for obvs reasons, but adventure just as needed to make memories for AFTER holiday.

        I first heard this in reference to medical residency: "The days are long but the years are short."

        I've noticed myself rounding time into ever-larger blocks (1hr vs 30 minutes, 1 day vs a few hours). Makes it seem like "so much to do, so little time!" I'm trying to be more granular (I have 17 minutes to finish this 15 minute task) rather than simply rounding & forfeiting time
