I came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives. Here are the 6 graphs everyone needs to see:
Time with Family
Time with Friends
Time with Partner
Time with Children
Time with Coworkers
Time Alone
6 lessons for life
For a deeper exploration on these graphs and much more, read the book. The 5 Types of Wealth: A Transformative Guide to Design Your Dream Life
95% of the time you have with your kids is gone by the time they turn 18
@SahilBloom Who you choose to spend your life with matters more than any career decision. Invest in relationships while you can.
@matt_gray_ Amen
@SahilBloom Everytime my SO and I travel to Europe for a month, my best friend and his wife (who live in Scotland) drop what they're doing to spend time with us wherever we're at. Every. Time.
@SahilBloom And the moment you hit 30, you would realize how FAST it actually goes.
@SahilBloom Every graph here is a lesson in priorities.
@SahilBloom Those kinds of graphs always hit hard crazy how time with people shifts as life goes on.
@SahilBloom You don’t realize your peak time with friends is so short until it’s gone. Use it to figure out who’s worth keeping for life. Avoid the drama queens and find those who stay when shit hits the fan.
@SahilBloom Many of our most cherished relationships, particularly with our parents, the vast majority of the total time we will ever spend with them is already in the rearview mirror. The future is far, far shorter than our hearts assume.
@SahilBloom It’s not just about the hours we spend with people, but the moments and memories we create together that truly defines our life. The only thing we need to learn is to be grateful and cherish them. Because someday they won’t be ours again.
@SahilBloom Awesome data. And further reinforces this point: You must be okay with being alone. You will only spend more and more time alone in your life. It's where you build great things, discover yourself, and spend most of your time on this Earth. Learn to accept just being by
@SahilBloom Data like this makes me reconsider my priorities. Maybe I should call my parents more often.
@SahilBloom Time is the most valuable thing we have. It goes faster than you think. Cherish every moment.
@SahilBloom If this doesn’t make you question who you spend time with, nothing will.
@SahilBloom Your circle shapes your life. These 6 graphs show the truth about time and relationships.
@SahilBloom Strong list. I’d add 7) Health time comes first. Without it the other six collapse
@SahilBloom Your network shapes your life more than you think, these 6 graphs prove it.
@SahilBloom Resource allocation isn’t just for startups it’s for life. These graphs show the ROI on time, and most people are investing poorly.
@SahilBloom The patterns in those graphs hit a nerve for anyone running a business. Founders often trade time with family and friends for time inside the company-and it creeps up slowly.
@SahilBloom Interesting; but on expected lines. Is this only for USA. How does India do?🤔
@SahilBloom It's sad because some people spend their time on the wing people. People that drain them Envy them Even secretly hate them. Your time is precious, never waste it on the wrong person.
@SahilBloom Haven’t come across a more eye opening graph in a long long time. Wow!! A thread of words wouldn’t have made such an impact 👌🏻
@SahilBloom Really shows you how much of an effect choosing the right partner has on your path in life.. The other graphs produce great insights as well. But that one stuck out the most to me.
@SahilBloom Goes to show time is our greatest asset.
@SahilBloom Your posts about this have altered the way I approach life 🙏🏽
@SahilBloom The steepest drop in time spent with friends coincides with marriage, kids, career - things that should matter most. But here's the reality: Americans work 182 more hours/year than the OECD average AND spend twice as much time with kids than our parents did. We're optimizing
@SahilBloom Sahil, this is why I'm so intentional about who gets my time now. Quality over quantity.
@SahilBloom That data sounds fascinating and truly insightful. Understanding how our time is allocated can really help us prioritize meaningful connections and grow personally. Thanks for sharing this perspective!
