I would have thought that time seems to go slower, when one does the same thing all the time, living a monotonous life.

I wasn’t sure whether they were talking about behaviours one ‘s used to, or those that have become unconscious habits. with the former each iteration can contain novelty (such as each experience of the same work of art) whilst with the latter each instance may be the same, but unconscious (like the way one conducts oneself whilst driving or walking for instance)?

I can see, how the unconscious actions maybe seem to make time pass quicker. But even if you are doing things unconsciously, you are somewhere with your consciousness, aren’t you? Maybe I am overthinking it now. To me it sounded as if elderly people automatically stopped doing new and exciting things. I am elderly, and I can confirm it is not so. 😉
