The more you pay attention to time itself, the more slowly it seems to pass.

And the more it will compress in retrospect.

The more events there are (the more one gets done), the more the past expands. Repetition and drudgery make it drag in the doing and collapse looking backward.

A good example of music. If one hasn't paid much attention to it over time, the 60s were yesterday.

... paradoxically, when all my troubles seemed so far away.

Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
