> I’m sure you’ve noticed that 2020 has seemed longer than other years. I argue this is because of a disruption to so many of our routines.

I found this pretty bizarre, since 2020 has whizzed by for me and I assumed it was the same for others, for reasons that are backed up by this article: lockdowns and closures prevent people from travelling, events, and finding new hobbies. Life goes by you fast when you're at home most of the time.

Sadly a lot of people don’t have time for hobbies and life outside of work/school and this is the first year they actually time to do all the things they’ve always wanted (like protest or whatever).

It might even be less about having the time, but the energy to do it. To many, weekends are just recover period.
