I think this is a side effect of one's life becoming more routinized as they grow older, and having fewer memorable moments in each day.

Anecdotally, I had this feeling of time moving more and more quickly, and "that thing which feels just a week ago was actually a year ago" until my early 30s, when I finally decided to unsubscribe from routines.

As I gradually moved away from having a daily schedule, I had more time for unique and memorable experiences in my everyday life, and this feeling began to change.

Nowadays, it is actualy more typical for me to feel the other way, meaning something which was just a week ago feels like it was much longer.

This sounds super interesting! What do you mean by unsubscribe from routines? Could you give some examples? What effects did doing this have on your life?
