I had thought the time jumps were something to do with states of grief but I’m not sure now.
Back when I was teaching, at least once a semester, I would get a paper that would start with: "These different parts of the story symbolize the different stages of grief." Before reading the next sentence, my eyes would roll back in my head, and I would fall on the floor in a fit, only to wake up hours later covered in my own piss. So what I'm saying is that I don't think it's that.
I think it's nearly the opposite: Wanda is moving through different eras of television in order to live through the different stages of her life she could've had with Vision if he had lived, from the honeymoon phase to trying to explain the unfairness of life to kids (made even tougher when you have the power to do nearly everything, but can't do the one thing they want). The time jumps happen so quickly because I think Wanda wants to experience everything and assumes she has a limited amount of time; in this most recent episode, I think things are moving even faster than she wants (kids growing, dog dying, etc.), probably stemming from the fact that even an all-powerful mutant isn't made to organize a whole universe, and it's getting away from her.

Raises another question. The kids aren’t real. Or are they?
What’s she gonna be Like coming out of this
Depends on how close they adhere to the comics. They were real using pieces of the soul of Master Pandemonium and Wanda’s powers but were erased later on.

Look at the lyrics to the theme song:
You wander the world with a vision…Of what life could be But then the years come and teach you…To just wait and see Forces may try to pull us apart…But nothing can phase me If you’re in my heart Crossing our fingers Singing a song We’re making it up as we go along Through the highs and lows We’ll be right, we’ll be wrong We’re making it up as we go along And there will be days…We won’t know which way to go But we’ll take it higher…You’re all I desire When the going gets tough…When push comes to shove We’re making it up Cuz we got love we got love we got love We got WandaVision
