About this video
I calculated how many times I'll see my parents again. This is the math that changed how I spend my time in this personal growth education video. I explain the neurobiology of time and how our brain perceives time to show it's not just you who thinks time is going faster. In this video, I use simple visualizations and real-life examples to estimate how many meaningful moments may still be ahead of us—from seeing our parents and celebrating holidays to taking trips with friends. The numbers were surprising, and they completely changed how I think about the rest of my life.
You'll learn: • Why time feels like it's moving faster as we age • How to estimate the experiences you have left • The difference between balanced, sporadic, and weighted life experiences • Small changes that can help you get more out of the time you have
The goal isn't to create anxiety about time. It's to become more intentional with it.
