I know journaling might be one, and doing new things from time to time, curious if people have other tips

    It’s old school, but slow down, and smell the roses.

    I see others in this conversation talking about doing routine things, but I would actually argue for the exact opposite of that.

    Try doing crazy impromptu things at the spur of the moment sometimes, for no real reason. Like for example, one morning get up and decide just to go to a marine aquarium and look at the fishes (or a local museum). Things like that.

    Try to appreciate the moment you’re in, and create new moments that are memorable, and are not routine.

      This 100%. My partner and I bought a house in October, and we’ve been doing a complete remodel on it since, spending anywhere from 30 - 40 hours a week working on the house while also working full time. This has easily been the fastest 6 months of my life and I feel like I’m going to blink and be 80 years old on my death bed.

      Routines are the enemy of slowing time!
