00:00:00 — Six graphs of who we spend our time with over our lives, each with a lesson

• ★★ Ali says that the time people spend alone rises throughout life, rapidly from the age of 30 until they die. — 00:00:00
• ★★ Since time alone grows throughout life, Ali says it makes sense to have a good relationship with yourself and to find some hobbies. — 00:00:00
• ★★★ Because the time spent with friends peaks while growing up and never increases again, Ali advises trying your best to find good friends who will stick around. — 00:00:00
• ★★ Because the time spent with coworkers is surprisingly high for a large part of life, Ali calls choosing who you work with incredibly important. — 00:00:00
• ★★ Because time with family is limited and peaks when you are younger, Ali advises cherishing it whenever you see your family later in life. — 00:00:29
• ★★ Because parents spend less and less time with their children from the moment they are born, Ali says to adore your children while you still can. — 00:00:29
• ★★★ Because the time spent with a partner increases throughout life, Ali says to choose your partner wisely. — 00:00:29
