“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” Annie Dillard. When thinking about how long your life will be and at what quality, you have to think about how you will spend your days. I refer to this as Soul Span. Work will make up a big part of those days. Figures vary, but on average, most people will spend between 70,000 and 90,000 hours of their lives at work.
