Expanding time by creating a life rich in experiences

People tend to create internal narratives about themselves - a life full of rich and varied experiences will likely have a satisfying quality to it in retrospect. Having more control over your time can lead to more novel memories.

People from all socio-economic levels could derive enjoyment and satisfaction, for example, by painting houses or gardening. Higher-paid jobs can lead to more new experiences, but wealthy people may spend money on a fancy watch instead, which will not have the same change to the perception of time as a vacation.
