I have far too many as well. An interesting motivating math experiment is to do the math on how much free time you have and how long it takes you to read an average book to compute how many you can read before you die. It's a frighteningly small number, at least for me.
- ladytron 10y agoI recently tried the Abaris life expectancy app and was pleasantly surprised when they estimated I will live to be 96 years old. Even if they are off by 10 years, it's still pretty good. Assuming the last 5 years are a wash due to dementia, I still have many years left to get to all my books. I would try the app if I were you. I always thought it was more like the late 70s. Maybe we will all have more time than we think! Makes burning a few years on a startup now also seem like an ok idea. Life is long, for many of us - according to the actuaries.
