The thing nobody tells you about turning 40

It is not the body. The body you can see coming, and honestly the gym handles most of it. It is that you suddenly know how long a decade takes. At 25 a decade was an abstraction. At 40 you have watched three of them go by and you can feel exactly how fast the next one will move. It made me ruthless about who I spend time with. That is the only real change.

The ruthlessness about time is real. I stopped going to things I did not want to go to and half my calendar disappeared. Nobody noticed.

Voy a cumplir 40 el año que entra y esto me pegó. Lo de "sabes cuánto dura una década" es exactamente el miedo que traigo y no sabía nombrarlo.

39 is when it starts. Consider this your one year warning, use it well.

33 is a great time to start being picky with your hours. I wish I had.
