i'm not really in line with all those remarks in the video.
In my field we speak of this fact very often. We are always forced to put ourselves in question and learn new thing, try new procedures. We always do 2 or three different things at a time. And time perception keeps constant whether I speak to a 30yo or 60yo. We also share in common our small duration of sleep/recovery time (like 5 or 6hours, 8 is a max). In the other hand while I take more than 1 week of Holiday time seems quite long because I'm not used to do nothing and I need to find things to focus on or I get bored quickly.
I'm really sure it depends on how you are used to process and concentrate new information. If you continuously use your brain at its almost full capacity. Time stays an almost constant perception.
in another hand when speaking of this with some friends which have a daily routine job, they have the perception described in this video.
So it depends. As any "sense" it's induced on how you've train your brain to use it. Of course Time seems slower when you're a young kid but it can stay constant during your adult life.

I sometimes wonder also, when we perceive how quickly time passes and it seems it passes quicker as we get older, whether it is only a distortion of the memory that the previous years passed slower than this one, because after all it is in the memory and it may have changed how we perceive it now in the presence...maybe a few years ago the year seemed to pass just as fast, but now we remember it as having been slower....one thing I think is true, that we perceived everything very slow as children. I remember very clearly how time started to pass much quicker at the age of about 15, and it was very noticeable.
