I'm not actually convinced by the author's point, but I do find the fact that you can comfortably fit all the days of one's life on a single page (or phone screen for that matter) to be rather depressing. I don't think it would have bothered me in the same way 20 years ago.
- Joeri 11y agoIf you live every day in a meaningful way, does it really matter how many you have? I see a lot of people in my surroundings who are in a holding pattern waiting to start living the life they want and do the things they want to do. I get that the necessities of life often preclude achieving your goals, but I see a lot of ways in which those people could change their life to be more aligned with what they claim they want ... yet they don't, and I don't really understand why. Don't see those remaining dots as a scarce resource, see them as an opportunity.

Force of habit makes it very easy to fall into a "holding pattern", and quite hard to break out of. I appreciate the perspective of looking at those remaining dots as opportunity.
