What would you do if you knew how much time you had left?
YouTuber Ze Frank cleverly illustrates the amount of time we have in our lives using a mountain of jelly beans.
Equating each day to one jelly bean, we would have, on average, 28,385 beans at the start.
Simple, every day activities would take up the bulk of this time. Using data from the American Time Use Survey, we find that the average person will sleep for 8,477 days, 3,202 days working, 1,099 days commuting, and 2,676 days watching television.
Ze Frank removes the appropriate number of jelly beans for each of those activities, leaving a small square of around 2,000 days for everything else in your life, from Facebook to hobbies.
What will you do with that time?
