Dr Claudia Hammond said that our life is so dull that only six to nine experiences in two weeks are worth committing to memory. But when we are on holiday, everything is so exciting that we make a mental note of six to nine things each day. When we flip back through these memories, it could make our holiday seem really long.

　　Memories also explain why time seems to speed up as we get older. We accumulate most memories between the ages of 15 and 25 when we experience lots of “firsts” in love, work and life. As we get older and our lives start to follow a set pattern. Fewer new experiences lead to fewer memories and so less to look back on. As a result, when trying to assess what we have achieved in recent time, it seems that life is flying by.

　　To stop this from happening, Miss Hammond suggests, “If you want life to seem long, you need to slow it down with all sorts of activities: go somewhere new, or spend time with different people.” To break up the routine of the working week, try taking a different route to work, or simply get off the bus a stop earlier or buy a different sandwich for lunch.
