The Tail End

The blog post “The Tail End” by Tim Urban is about visualizing one’s life in different units of time and realizing how much or how little of certain things one has left to experience. The author uses charts and graphs to show how many years, months, weeks, days, and events he has left in his life, assuming he lives until 90. He then focuses on the concept of relationships and how he has already spent most of the time he will ever spend with his parents and some of his closest friends. He calls this the “tail end” of those relationships, and urges the reader to cherish and prioritize the remaining time with their loved ones. He also suggests some ways to make the most of one’s weeks, such as enjoying them, building something for the future, or helping others.
