Author Oliver Burkeman asked his friends to quickly estimate how many weeks they think humans live for. Some said 60,000, some 80,000, and one even said 310,000. The answer, on average, is about 4,000 weeks. Of which nearly 1,300 are spent asleep. That leaves 2,700 conscious weeks. If you subtract an average of 2,000 weeks we spend working, we’re left with about 700 weeks to ourselves. Work dominates. The rest feels absurdly short.
Good one!
