Read Chasing Daylight, its abotu a billionaire given 90 days to live and he learns to live n the moment.
“I experienced more PERFECT moments and PERFECT days in two weeks than I had in the last 5 YEARS or than I probably would have in the NEXT 5 YEARS had my life continued without the diagnosis.”
Eugene O'Kelly lived on the low end 1 day as 130 and on the mid end (hence the word probably) as 260, so following this continuum we can say the high end up cap is even upwards of a year for a day. Think about it from your own perspective:
Take your most perfect day of your life, would you trade the dullest year you felt to relive that day?
"I hope soon in a short note to be able to show that certain paradoxes in the quantum-theoretical treatment of radiation phenomena may be illuminated by the remark that the fixation of a direction of time is intimately related to the concept of observation" Niels Bohr on exactly this phenomena (observation and time)

Time goes by fast because you guys live the same day over and over again and you re not in the moment.
I effectectively unlocked the elixir of life at age 28 and the last 3.5 years feel like 350 years, heres some quotes from the time chapter in my book;

These days, new kinds of experiments using everything from computer simulations to brain scans to genetically engineered mice are helping unlock the nature of mental time. And their results show that the brain does not use a single stopwatch. Instead, it has several ways to tell time, and none of them seems to work like a conventional clock.
Even in a healthy brain, time is elastic. Staring at an angry face for five seconds feels longer than staring at a neutral one.
"Time can curve" The Science Asylumn on the elastic nature of time (physically speaking)
"Time goes by so fast, it feels like yesterday I was here in Toronto (10 years later)" Khabib
"Time dilation is a crazy phenomena, when i was very sick, minutes felt like HOURS and hours felt like DAYS and days felt like WEEKS, time works in a very very weird way!" Jordan Peterson

Best time exercises from the Books Wake Up and The Art Of Stopping Time
1.Kill TV, challenge yourself not to watch any tv for a week
2.NOTICE EVERYTHING, for the next day, simply find reasons to be in awe of everything. "Wow I have a nice computer, man this table's design is awesome, dang that's a good dress, mirin those biceps"
“Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder.” ― Henry David Thoreau

4.Find one person and share what you love about them
5.Wander around, go to random places and just walk around aimlessly deeply observing your environment
6.Deathbed wish, assume you're dying like Eugene O'Kelley, think about your life to this point, what did you like? What didn't you like? What did you wish more of? What brought you the most joy? What are you most grateful for? What did you wish that you continually put off? Rate your life 1-10.
"A man who lives FULLY is prepared to die at ANY time" Mark Twain
7.Set an hourly alarm and ask yourself "how am I doing right now and what am I doing right now?" Write it down and reevaluate what you did during the week
8.Reset your workplace and home desk, move things around to a new place
9.Daydream, everyday have 5 minutes of daydream bliss about whatever you want, an excellent subconscious priming and strengthening exercise!
"As a kid I alwayss dreamed that scoring 80, 90, 100 was possible, so hitting the 81 was no surprise for me" Kobe Bryant

11.Ask yourself if your technology is creating time or destroying time
12.Take a day off social media
13.Where have you lost time lately? Why? What happened?
14.Watch your emotions, once every hour ask yourself "what am I feeling right now? Why?"
15.Eliminate one thing from your schedule right now
16.One I just came up with, once a day; think of what memories you just made in the last 10 minutes, there is always something novel if you think hard enough
Andrew Kirby recently actually basically did most of these in one video:

I Spent 24 Hours In Total Isolation
To sum it up "Normally a day is a day.....but that felt like it was MONTHS" corroborating that even on the low end we can make a day feel like 60 days+, thus if one has on average 40 years left, we can EFFECTIVELY turn those 40 years into 2400 in terms of time FELT by using better time principles.
