When there is snow, I always go out for a walk.
It’s a rule.
I grew up in Auckland, New Zealand—we don’t get snow there. And it only snows about once a year in London, so it still sparks wonder and joy whenever I see it.
My snow rule also came about due to The Tail End essay by Tim Urban. It’s a mathematical and visual approach to estimating the number of experiences we’re likely to have left.
For example, if I continue to only see snow once per year, statistically speaking, I should only get 50-or-so more snow-filled walks in the park.
I don’t think these are morbid thoughts. If anything, thoughts like this can help us make the most of each day and opportunity.
