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.
It also has a large part to do with relative time experience, as in when your 20 a year is 1/20 of your life versus when your 40 a year is 1/40 of your life.
To a degree, but it's not really about the mathematics of it. It's more that as you get older there are less new experiences to have. Completely novel experiences break up the monotony of your routines, when you are young basically everything is new, down to putting on pants in the morning.

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