Time Management and Life Choices

The dots on this screen represent an adult life in months,

assuming a life expectancy of ninety.

So if you're eighteen years old right now, this is an optimistic estimate

of the months that you have left.

Take a second to take that in.

Probably not as many as you would expect,

and I'm sorry to say that it does get worse

because about a third of that time is gonna be spent sleeping.

On average,

one hundred and twenty-six of those months will go to school and your

career.

About eighteen will be spent driving,

thirty-six cooking and eating,

thirty-six doing chores and errands, and about twenty-seven in the

bathroom and taking care of personal hygiene.

So that leaves you with

three hundred and thirty-four months.

This is where you pursue your passions

and travel the world

and leave your mark.

How you spend this time is going to determine the quality of your

life.

So take a second and ask yourself,

what do you wanna do with that free time?

Now, I would be willing to bet that

scrolling through TikTok,

binge-watching Netflix,

and playing video games probably did not come to mind.

But today, the average eighteen-year-old in the

United

States is on pace to spend

ninety-three percent of their remaining free time looking

at a screen.

Imagine getting to the age of ninety,

seeing this visualization of how you spent all your time after

the age of eighteen,

and thinking about all the things you could have done that you did

not do because you got distracted.
