"Monotony collapses time; novelty unfolds it"

My new favorite quote from a book I've been enjoying reading immensely: 


“Monotony collapses time; novelty unfolds it. You can exercise daily and eat healthily and live a long life, while experiencing a short one. If you spend your life sitting in a cubicle and passing papers, one day is bound to blend unmemorably into the next - and disappear. That's why it's so important to change routines regularly, and take vacations to exotic locales, and have as many new experiences as possible that can serve to anchor our memories. Creating new memories stretches out psychological time, and lengthens our perception of our lives.” 
― Joshua Foer, Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything


What this quote tells me: 
1. Always eat dessert
2. 6 am is for sleeping and not for spinning 
3. Ignore Il Duce and go for regular walks during working hours
4. Vacations to exotic locales - Fiji anyone? 
5. New dates
6. Create memories, including clandestine ones
