From Oliver Burkeman’s Help! How to be slightly happier and get a bit more done:
We all know that time seems to speed up as we grow older – but according to studies at the University of Cincinnati in the 1970’s, this effect is so pronounced that if you’re 20 today, you’re already halfway through life, in terms of your subjective experience of how time passes, even if you live until you’re 80. And if you’re 40 – again, assuming you live to be 80 – your life is 71% per cent over. Basically, if you’re older than about 30, you’re almost dead.
