Product Information

Sometimes life seems really short, and other times it seems impossibly long. But this chart helps to emphasize that it’s most certainly finite. Those are your weeks and they’re all you’ve got. To solve this there is a more technically accurate weeks of your life calendar from Erik K. Nyquist. This version accounts for every week of your life and you can see which week your birthday lies in. My version of the life calendar For some people being able to visualise how much time has been spent, or how much time might be left may be a motivator to use their time wisely. I first saw a ‘weeks of your life’ style calendar advertised to me as I was browsing the web and found the concept intriguing. When I looked more closely I discovered that there are many very similar versions of these life calendars available – some are digital, and some can be bought as a printed out poster. The deeper you’re willing to dive, the better the result. Get real with your life so far and take a few mins to answer these three questions:

One slight issue with all of these life calendars is that they list 52 weeks in a year, which of course is not quite accurate. There are 52 weeks + a day or two in each year, which means that at some point in the year you’ll have to fudge one of the weeks. With the pandemic ending and the world moving on, I wanted to start fresh with a bird’s eye view of all that came before. The best way to change your life around is to create your very own 90 day plan for what you want to focus on next. It might sound painful, but it’s worth it. Looking at this spoon of diamonds, there’s one very clear question to ask: “Are you making the most of your weeks?” Besides the purpose of encouraging regular reflection, we hope the calendar can help you feel more oriented in your life, help you set goals and hold yourself to them, and remind you to be proud of yourself for what you’ve accomplished and grateful for the diamonds in your spoon.

Your life in weeks

I was curious as to where this idea came from. On 5th December 2012 Craig Weller wrote about a very basic life calendar that he was using where he was filling in the ‘week’ boxes in what is a simple printed 52×80 grid. He calls it a ‘Memento Mori’ chart – it means ‘remember you will die’. Take your time with it. I thought about making the spreadsheet more complicated with formulas and auto-fill boxes, but it’s much better when you do it yourself.

Spanish brand 4K WEEKS has a creative way for you to chronicle your life. Their 4k Weeks Poster comprises tiny boxes in which each square corresponds to one week of life—enough to fill 88 years (the average lifespan of a human). The premise is simple: color the boxes based on the number of weeks you’ve lived. Through the weeks, and in turn years, you’ll see different designs emerge and fade away as new ones come into view. It all depends on your age and time of year. If you take into account the age you might expect to reach you’ll see what proportion of your life has been used up.

This renewed focus just meant I worked more efficiently and left me with time each day to complete smaller jobs

Given that fact, the only appropriate word to describe your weeks is precious. There are trillions upon trillions of weeks in eternity, and those are your tiny handful. Going with the “precious” theme, let’s imagine that each of your weeks is a small gem, like a 2mm, .05 carat diamond. Here’s one: The boxes can also be a reminder that life is forgiving. No matter what happens each week, you get a new fresh box to work with the next week. It makes me want to skip the New Year’s Resolutions—they never work anyway—and focus on making New Week’s Resolutions every Sunday night. Each blank box is an opportunity to crush the week—a good thing to remember.

This is the year, according to research from NYU’s Stern School of Business, because I am 29, I am more likely to make significant life decisions such as run a marathon, commit suicide, or seek an extramarital affair (well, I’d need to be married for this one). Per the study, “adults undertake a search for existential meaning when they approach a new decade in age … or imagine entering a new epoch, which leads them to behave in ways that suggest an ongoing or failed search for meaning”. This post is inspired by WaitButWhy’s blog Your Life In Weeks. I strongly recommend reading this piece and more writing from Tim Urban. But the worst possible way to use a diamond is by accomplishing neither #1 nor #2 above. Sometimes “neither” happens when you’re in either the wrong career or the wrong relationship, and it’s often a symptom of either a shortage of courage, self-discipline, or creativity. Sometimes “neither” happens because of a debilitating problem.
