Can you make a variant for relative passing time?

You probably barely remember anything up to around 10, and then each doubling of age adds one logarithmical unit

So 10 is 1, 20 is 2, 40 is 3 and 80 is 4 (or maybe 0, 1 and 2?)

20 is already half of life passed by -_-



I think that's a bit too simplistic, unless someone can testify that the 20 years 20 t0 40 feel as long as 40 years, 40 to 80.

Here's an interesting graph and discussion on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1e18fmz/pe...

Still looking if anyone has a study of (life/long-term) time perception w/ graph(s).
