Doing this exercise put a lot of things into perspective for me. If i go with the UK average life expectancy for males that takes me to 81 years. So I have 14, 191, 200 minutes left which sounds like a lot, but running that back to days that would be 9, 855 days or 27 years! And at the rate time seems to fly when you're older, 27 years isn't a whole lot. For me, this exercise makes me think about legacy. What's going to live beyond me? I have the kids of course, but I'd also like to leave something behind that can help future generations. For me that's leaving a digital archive of texts, audio, and videos that can help someone in the future in the same way books have helped me in my life time.

That's interesting! Do you foresee a journey coming up for you? Any BIG adventures on your bucket list?
Haha, that is a very millennial comment!
