Feeling time
Even though we all get the same 24 hours in a day, that day can be lived in a number of ways - which contributes to how fast (or slow) a day feels.
I recently attended a small wedding in Brazil, on an island called Buzios, near Rio de Janero - a beautiful little fishing village. After Day 2, I had adjusted to "Island Time" - sitting all day on a beach, eating lobster and drinking caipirinhas. It was interesting to contrast that with my return to "Startup Time", which is a chaotic jumble - bouncing quickly between meetings, phone calls, and time in front of a computer screen. In terms of "feel", the two are pretty much at opposite ends of the spectrum. It takes a day or so to either slow down or speed up, but life can be very enjoyable at either end!
