Is Time An Illusion?

I mean, it exists, but does it really? Is time not just a convention dreamed up by humans by which to measure our existence? If every single person in the world agreed not to recognise time from tomorrow, what would it mean to us? Sure, we'd age anyway but we'd just realise at some point we were getting slower and less able to do the things we used to do. There would be no concept of late or early, being just in time or having schedules or anything. Obviously it would be impossible, but just for the sake of spitballing, would you agree that time is just our own invention? Or not?
