How Many Visits?
Carve out ~5 minutes to take a swing at completing this worksheet. Remember your answers aren’t meant to predict the future. They’re simply another way to look at the time you hope to have left with people who matter to you.
Circle some years. Calculate some visits. Then pay attention to what comes up. Your number may surprise you—or it may not. Maybe it confirms what you already believe.
Either way, consider sharing the worksheet with someone else and comparing your “new math.” A little math might lead to a meaningful die-a-logue.
