In terms of things getting easier, yes. But age becomes a factor at some point.
I have to work a lot harder, in my sixties, to memorize lyrics than I did in my twenties. In that sense, it has gotten harder.
On the other hand, it has gotten easier, over the years, to play a song at tempo. In my twenties I needed a metronome. Or a drummer. In my sixties, the metronome is built in.
If I'm learning a new song with difficult chord progressions, I try to perfect them before I start worrying about words.
I try to work on a new song every month, but often it's every other month. I'm no longer trying to keep a repertoire of hundreds of songs active. It's good to allow some songs to retire.
