					<description><![CDATA[Pretty much everyone I ask who’s over 30 says time seems to be going faster and faster for them.

Last week, that didn&#8217;t seem scary at all. Today, not so much scary&#8230; more like that feeling when you accept a double-dog dare. Not to get too woo-woo, but there&#8217;s a reason I&#8217;m [&#8230;]]]></description>

It’s called your Perfect Average Day. It’s a little like a vision board, but not really. A little like [&#8230;]]]></description>

There&#8217;s always someone talking, moving around, microwaving popcorn, playing with the dog, or flushing a toilet.
