I was thinking about 10 years ago. It didn’t seem like a long time from an intuitive / gut perspective, but it’s actually almost 25% of my life. Really more than that when you factor in that I don’t really remember much until some points in elementary school. So a good chunk of my life has passed over 10 years, yet it feels much less than the time from high school / college.
I think it’s related to life events. For me, there’s a big distinction pre and post-business school. Everything post business school seems to have happened relatively recently, even though that was 8 years ago now. While everything before it seems to belong to much younger version of myself.
I imagine other people have different break points depending on certain critical events in their lives. I’m at a point where I need to have another break point in my Life Time.
