How Much of Your Life Do You Sell for Your Job?
What could be better than summing up the existential results of the year?
In fact, a lot of things (almost everything). But I honestly believe that sometimes, to actually change something, you have to hit rock bottom in your existential reflections.
So now, thinking about the end of the year, I decided to calculate what is really left of life once you factor in work. For what amount am I selling the years of my life?
The result is a simple little website that, after you answer 11 easy questions, does the math and neatly serves up some existentialism you can even share on social media.
