it never really made sense to me how you could travel the same distance in less time if the airplane isn’t going any faster. how is the time reduced?

Sometimes you do simply fly faster. Different routes have different cost indexes. Ideally the company wants you to fly slow and save gas, but if you need to make up time you push the throttles up a bit more and burn more fuel. Also routes are designed for deconflict traffic, if it’s not too busy you might get to go direct to the destination and shave a few dozen miles off the route.
