The chart that will change the way you see life
Every three to six months or so, this chart pops into my hyper active brain.
I always stop to look at it, and it never fails to hit hard.
It outlines how the average American spends their time over a lifespan, time with parents, friends, partners, children, coworkers, and time spent alone.
Here are my biggest takeaways:
By age 20, you’ve used up most of the time you’ll have with your parents and siblings. Cherish your time with them, it’s less than you think.
After age 30, the time you spend alone will gradually increase until you die. Loneliness is common but not inevitable. Make a conscious effort to keep in touch with friends and family.
A huge amount of your adult life will be spent with the people you work with. Make an effort to get along with your coworkers, you’ll be with them a lot.
Around age 30, your number of close friends and the time you spend with them will decrease.
Friends will come and go like seasons. But you always have the power to take action and reach out.
The time you spend with your partner will increase until one of you dies. Who you choose as a partner is the biggest decision you’ll make in life.
The second-most important decision you’ll make is where you live. Living closer to family and friends makes it easier to maintain those relationships.
Simple as that.
