I had this earlier version, and I'm unsure about this one as well...
"I find it amazing when I think how things can change quickly, hardly allowing us the time to get used to the new situation."
"I find it amazing when I think how things can change quickly, hardly allowing us the time to get used to the new situation."

I would add “so” before “quickly,” but otherwise it’s very good!

It’s amazing (to me) how things can change quickly, hardly allowing us the time to get used to them!
Yes, your sentence is fine. You can add the word "to me" (= I find it amazing) if you want to, or you can leave them out. It's your choice.
And you probably want to use an exclamation mark (!) at the end.

@DCXR610 technically correct, but jt sounds a bit strange.
It’s amazing how things can change so quickly, barely letting us get used to them.
