Is this a serious question? Time seemingly passing ever faster the older we get is a psychological phenomenon. The younger you are, the more things are yet to be experienced, ,many of them milestones in a human life. When we wait for something to happen, when we anticipate, time crawls. On the other hand, if we are older, we have less things left to anticipate, so time seems to past faster. Then there is retrospection, which is the real time killer. If we look back at things, especially those milestones in our lives, time seems to have flown, because all those things are already behind us, but we recall them in an instant. In conclusion, if you want time to pass more slowly, work towards important goals while not being too retrospective.
