You have 750,000 Hours, How are You Going to Spend Them?

365 days a year x 24 hours a day x 85 years = 750,000 hours for living

If you're old enough to read this, you already have less than 750,000 hours. And the 750,000 is calculated on a 24 hour day - you have to sleep. If you are 25, 35, 45 and reading this, you actually have significantly fewer than 750,000 hours:

At 45 – you have 262,800 remaining hours

At 35 – you have 350,400 remaining hours

At 25 – you have 525,600 remaining hours

750,000 hours is the total number of hours you have between the time you are born and the time you die, if you live to be 85 years old. Some of us live to be significantly older than this, unfortunately some of us live significantly less.

A portion of that time must be spent on sleep and eating. Those hours are probably non-negotiable – if we don't sleep and we don't eat, that 750,000 hours quickly reduces to 0.

What we do with the rest of those hours – how we 'spend' them – is a choice. This blog takes a look at those choices, brings to light how many of us are spending our very finite number of hours for living, and explores options for making the most of those 750,000 hours.
