The Things We Don't CountHow it works

We count everything.

Money, steps, calories, followers.
Not the time left with the people you love.

44

Christmases. Roughly 44 left.

Somehow, that number feels smaller.

The number arrives first. The meaning arrives a second later.

At age 40.

The countdown has already started

Some things are being counted down before you realise they are counting down.

The things you will miss are already happening

One day the ordinary becomes the thing you miss. The ordinary days are not as ordinary as they look.

You do not need more time

You need to notice the time you have. Then spend a little more of it on purpose.

Good relationships protect our bodies and our brains.
