Why
is that some experiences feel like they last forever, while others fly
by? We tend to miscalculate the time it takes to engage in novel
activities due to the influence of memories. Matt Danzico explains why
your childhood feels like it lasted forever and why that beach vacation
seemed like two months rather than two weeks.

Yes. I have tried to stay in the moment and be mindful. No they weren't new but I guess I was looking for new aspects of them

делаем упражнения на время. например: ставим таймер и человек делает какое либо действие и должен закончить за определенный отрезок времени. и смотрим совпало ли это с таймером

It was while an exercise of consciousness: the purpose was to walk as slowly as we can during one minute. I was experiencing a real slow motion! I thought it lasted 5 or 10 minutes, and yes, it was something new for me.
