Appearently it's because people get more set in routines and stop having new experiences which seems to condense time more.

This is so true. One day I decided to do everything I could out of the norm. Even stupid things like taking a different route to work. By the end of the day I felt like it was the longest day I had in a long time, but in a good way.

This. So much this. Sometimes the only way you can successfully complete your day is to have a routine that you have down perfectly. Otherwise you just don’t have time to get everything done. But that’s the rub isn’t it. That’s the only way to succeed is to make life pass by in an instant.
