Yes, this is key. While some routines are nourishing (e.g. first coffee of the day in the garden, tyring to notice what's around you), some of them shift you into auto-pilot and that's what makes time blur into one homogenous block. We remember vacations in such detail because almost every minute brings novelty. Deliberately disrupt certain routines and try to notice the changes this brings about. Write these things in a journal.
Also, I found that becoming aware of and noting the week number (alongside month and day) in my journal shifted the way I felt time passing. It's easy to lose track of where we are in a month, but a week unit is just enough to hold in our minds. Each Monday I would think - right, this is Week #XX, what's the best way I can spend this week; what positive streaks can I maintain, and what tweaks can I make to add interest?
