So to borrow a bit of Adler's psychological theory, every human has life tasks to complete, which we all do at different ages and stages. I'm looking to get your help making a list of what the tasks are and when most people do them in a modern, western country. Here's what I thought of so far.
- Defining your gender (am I a boy or a girl) : childhood
- discovering and accepting your sexuality (am I straight/gay/bi etc and that is ok): late teens to mid 20s
- becoming financially independent: mid 20s to mid 30s
- finding a life partner: ??
I'm really just looking to brainstorm so hope this can still count as a question. I'm especially keen to hear about life tasks which people usually undertake age 35+
