Wow, is this year already over? Don't you feel like every year goes by so quickly? There is actually a name for this feeling. It is called "Janne's Law." This concept was proposed by the 19th-century French philosopher Paul Janne, and it explains the psychological phenomenon that "the older you get, the shorter time feels." For example, one year when you are one year old is a whole year of your life (1/1), but one year when you are fifty years old is only a small part of your life (1/50). As the proportion of one year in your life decreases, time feels like it goes by faster and faster.

Moreover, new experiences are easier to remember and make time feel longer, while familiar actions seem to pass quickly. When you are a child, you have many new experiences, so time feels longer. However, as you grow up, fresh events decrease, and daily time feels shorter. For instance, when you go to a new place, the road feels long, but on the way back, it feels short because you are used to it. This feeling follows the same principle as Janne's Law.

えっ、もう今年も終わり？なんだか毎年あっという間に感じませんか？実は、この感覚にはちゃんと名前があるんです。それが【ジャネーの法則】。19世紀のフランスの哲学者ポール・ジャネが提唱したもので、「年齢を重ねるほど時間が短く感じる」心理現象を説明したものです。例えば、1歳のときの1年は人生の全体(1/1)ですが、50歳のときの1年は全体のわずか1/50。人生における1年の割合が小さくなるため、時間がどんどん早く感じられるのです。さらに、初めての経験は記憶に残りやすく時間が長く感じられるのに対し、慣れた行動はあっという間に感じる、という特徴もあります。子どもの頃は新しい体験が多いため時間が長く感じますが、大人になると新鮮な出来事が減り、日々の時間が短く感じるのです。例えば、初めての場所へ行くときは道が長く感じますが、帰り道は慣れているので短く感じる――この感覚もジャネーの法則と同じ原理です。
