I don't think it has anything to do with age but with the rate of new experiences.

Take a year off work to travel the world and you'll find your subjective sense of time passing slows right down.

Does it matter though? Does it matter how many experiences you collect? You can't take them with you. Better to develop relationships that can be a source of joy (I imagine. I have not done that).

It may not matter in any objective sense, or even a subjective one.

But if you want your sense of time passing to slow down, increasing the rate of new experiences might be one way to get there.

if you want your sense of time passing to slow down, go sit in an empty silent room with nothing to do
