Also I have found the more your daily and weekly routines are, it can feel like time has flown by faster, as things being so similar, days and weeks and months blend together...
I think there might be a Biblical answer?
relativity ... each new day seems to go faster because it is a smaller percentage of your entire past ...
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana… ;-)
“Paradoxically though, because these routine tasks are less exciting and novel, they leave weaker and less vivid memory traces.” There have been times where I’ve left very little of a vivid memory trace.
I should have read this book but I haven’t so far. Didn’t have time.
Or this book Time In A Bottle.

read a really boring book- or go on a date with a really boring person- time just drags along when doing so
Stand in line at the post office.
Being 95 I am an authority.
You slow things down by planning on the next many years.
Plant a fruit tree or something...
And the more it will compress in retrospect.
The more events there are (the more one gets done), the more the past expands. Repetition and drudgery make it drag in the doing and collapse looking backward.
A good example of music. If one hasn't paid much attention to it over time, the 60s were yesterday.
Oh, what the heck.
Here is one of the ultimate “time” songs.

After the 1989 San Francisco earthquake, there was a benefit concert at the Cow Palace. The Chambers Brothers played Time. Later, who should walk out on stage.... Bob Hope!
You can actually slow time by tying yourself to toxic people.
My late mom said Life is like a roll of toilet tissue the closer to the end the faster it goes
time is like toilet paper. the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.
Where is a Hot Tub Time Machine when you need one?
Maybe I should check Ebay again.
If I think back to when I was young it seemed like I always had something to look forward to. When I was really little, I couldn’t wait to grow up and be like the big kids. Seems like that took an eternity. Then once I was a big kid, I couldn’t wait to get a driver’s license, then to hit 18, then to graduate. An involuntary stint with Uncle Sam was another eternity. Reaching 21 took ages. Finding a house, a good woman and a decent job all seemed to take way too long. A 30 year career seemed like a life sentence. However once I retired time seems to fly by. The reason why, I think, is that there’s really nothing more of any significance to look forward to.
If you want to slow time down, go to the History of Art professor (extremely mono-tone, like that one in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, even worse) that I had my first year..
Time is practically stopped. Felt like about 2 decades before the class finished each lesson.
