In his post, he outlined how quickly time flies by most of us, and we often have less of it than we can process. This document is a simple tool to help you evaluate your own time and build a more clear perspective of how you want to spend the precious time you have left.
Kevin's article borrowed a framework from Tim Urban's 2014 blog post entitled
Your Life in Weeks
⁠
. Pause here, and go read that article, too

It turns out that when I graduated from high school, I had already used up 93% of my in-person parent time. I'm now enjoying the last 5% of that time. We're in the tail end. ー Tim Urban
