The Tail End

  • Metadata:
  • Instead of measuring your life in units of time, you can measure it by events or activities
    • How many winters
    • How many Superbowl
    • How many books to read
    • How many US presidential elections
    • How many Chinese food for dinners
  • However, these things have a relatively stable rate but there are things that are very unequally spread out in one's life
    • Time with parents - once you graduate from high school, you have used up 93% of in-person parent time - we are in the tail end
    • Time with siblings, friends, etc
  • Takeaways
    • Living in the same place as the people you love matters
    • Priorities matter - make sure the list of people you spend time with is created by you
    • Quality time matters - keep the fact that you are in the tail end in your mind when you are with them and treat this time as precious as anything else
