Nuclear Family. Extended Family. Friends. Over the holidays, you probably saw a lot of them. With my oldest son back from university, our nuclear family spent a TON of time together, with lots of extended family in the mix as well. It is an important time of the year to not only reflect on the past trip around the sun, but also to look ahead to 2024 and to how we are going to spend our precious time. I recently came across this graphic, visualizing who we spend our time with over our lifetimes. There were six key takeaways, which we thought valuable to share:

1. Family time is limited - cherish it.

2. Friend time is limited - prioritize real friendships.

3. Partner time is significant - treasure it and never settle.

4. Children time is precious - be present.

5. Co-worker time is high - find energy.

6. Alone time is the highest - love yourself.

Studies have shown that time with friends, family and loved ones is critical to happiness and longevity. Perhaps make that a priority for 2024.
