The fact that time perception speeds up as you age has terrified (and also fascinated) me lately, and it seems it's a result of the fact that as we age, we tend to experience fewer unfamiliar / novel moments as opposed to being directly proportional to your age.
I, for instance, can attest that recent years have been going by quicker than earlier in my childhood. What do y'all think shall be done with that fact, and what you can attest to?

You need to learn Inception, if you enter a dream within a dream then time slows each time. Leonardo Di Caprio mastered the ability.

The real answer is to do things differently as often as possible. Get new hobbies, take a different route to work every morning, watch new films, read new books, travel, etc. Whatever floats your boat.
It's not so much an issue of perception, but instead an issue of reflection. If all your days are the same, when you reflect back upon them, they will just seem to blend into one other.
The key is to avoid falling into a repetitive routine. Live a varied, fulfilling life and this "chronoception" bollocks will be nothing to worry about.

Time's going so fast, I've lost all comprehension of it.

Time has not seemed to move quicker as I age. Every year still feels just as long. Then again, I'm only 18.
What I do notice and is more interesting however from a weather/climate perspective, is that winter goes by much slower than spring, summer, and fall, despite the fact that the seasons are equal in length. This is because I get much more enjoyment out of the 3 good seasons.

Pink Floyd wrote a song about time perception. I can no longer listen to it without thinking about Benny Boy |

I think it feels like that because as we age, 1 year becomes a shorter percentage of our life, and so when looking back it is a shorter segment of our total memory, so it seems like each time you live 1 year it’s a bit faster.
Age: 1 year as a percentage of your whole life/memory
1: 100%
2: 50%
3: 33.3%
4: 25%
5: 20%
10: 10%
15: 6.6%
20: 5%
30: 3.3%
40: 2.5%
50: 2%
60: 1.6%
70: 1.4%
80: 1.2%
90: 1.1%
100: 1%
110: 0.9%
120: 0.8%

I have the opposite thing going on. I actually find time seems slower the older I get. This goes against the usual observation of people thinking that time speeds up the older they get. It could be that my brain is actually speeding up as I age, whereas most people's brains slow down. That makes sense.
