Ooh controversial
It's a sweeping generalisation. The point I think you're making is that people get into a routine; Get up, go to work, come home, have their tea, watch telly, go to bed. Maybe throw in a social life and a holiday once or even twice a year.

But such a routine means nothing stands out in your memories, it's the same thing week in week out and it all merges into one beige mass of humdrum nothingness and that is why you think "Christ, what happened to the last 10 years?".
You want to avoid that phenomenon that time speeds up as you get older? Go out and do different new experiences as often as you can. The more variety you add to your life, the more memories you have and the years seem less vacant when you think back.
