Your Life in Weeks
A human life is surprisingly countable in weeks. Each square below is one week. The filled ones are weeks you've already lived — the rest are still yours to spend.
Why see your life in weeks?
Made famous by the "Your Life in Weeks" idea, this grid turns an abstract lifespan into something you can take in at a glance. Each row is a year (52 weeks); the whole grid is your expected life. Seeing how many weeks you've already lived — and how many likely remain — is a simple, powerful nudge to spend your time on what matters.
It's an estimate, not a prediction
Life expectancy is just an average; plenty of people live well beyond it. Treat the grid as motivation, not a countdown. Adjust the expectancy figure to match your country or family history.

Frequently asked questions
How many weeks are in an average life?
About 4,160 weeks for an 80-year life (80 × 52). It's a strikingly small-looking number when you see it as a grid.
Is this meant to be morbid?
Not at all — it's a motivational tool. Seeing your weeks laid out helps put everyday choices in perspective and encourages you to make the most of your time.
Is my birth date stored?
No. The grid is drawn entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded or saved.
