How Time Seems to Fly Faster Each Year

Time flies by quickly. And I feel even more so as the year goes by.
There are a number of theories about how this feeling is brought about.

The first theory is this. When you are two years old, one year is 50% of your entire life.
On the other hand, at Age 50 one year only represents 2%.
That's why it feels shorter.
Makes sense.
Some say this explanation is based on Einstein's theory of relativity.

The second theory is psychological.
According to a university professor in psychology,
one's feeling of time is influenced by the number of events
in a day.
If you pencil in a lot of events in your daily organizer,
the day feels longer.
On the other hand, if you purposelessly spend a day,
the day feels very short.
Experience tells you that it's true.
When you have many exciting events in a day,
you feel you got a lot done at the end of the day.
What makes one feel a day longer may have something to do with
a feeling of fulfillment.

The third theory, which is my original hypothesis, is this.
As you become older, it takes longer for you to recover from fatigue,
both mental and physical.
As a result, the length of the time in which you can be active
becomes shorter.
And our sense of time is probably determined by the length of time
when you are active.
And because your active time becomes shorter as a result of acting,
your time feels shorter.

So is there anything you can do to fight against this increasingly shortening sense of time?
Probably not much.
If Theory No.1 stands, as long as you live,
the length of one year relative to that of your entire life continues to shrink,
so nothing can change it.
Perhaps there a few conscious efforts you can make
regarding No. 2 and No. 3.
As for No. 2, you can try to make plans everyday in order to live purposefully.
Concerning No. 3, you can eat well, exercise regularly, and sleep well
in order to minimize energy loss from unhealthy habits.

Students Questionnaires

A large scale student satisfaction survey was conducted at the beginning of November. And I have just begun to process the questionnaires. They reflect the needs and wants of the students of the English training school I work at. There are quite a few inspiring comments, and I feel very excited to process all the questionnaires for the coming few weeks. I will analyze them once they've been processed, and my analysis then leads to action plans to improve students' satisfaction. That's the most exciting part, and my co-worker and I are going to spend lots of time discussing what's best to do, piloting some tentative ideas, and polishing our final plans. Our new action plans will be announced at the beginning of next January.
