New experiences are always more vivid. The more unusual it is to your previous experience the move vivid it becomes in your mind. Take for instance travel. Driving someplace new you're more alert about the course since you don't know what to expect. Once you've repeated it a few times or hundreds of times, like say driving to work, it becomes predictable. As long as traffic is moving along at a decent pace, you're perfectly oblivious to the passage of time. Now take skydiving or bungee jumping for the first time as another example. You may free fall for 5-30 seconds, but the adrenaline pumping in your brain makes it seem like slow motion. You remember every vivid detail. After 1000 jumps it's nothing near the vividness of the first 10. The only lesson I've been able to draw from this is that if you want life to slow down you have to live it and experience new things.
