Your Entire Life fits on One Sheet of Paper

The average human life is 4,000 weeks long. That’s it.

If you are 30 years old, you have already burned through 1,500 of them. You have roughly 2,500 left. When you say it like that, it doesn’t sound like much, does it?

We are bad at visualizing time. We think of “next year” as a distant country. But when you plot every week of your life as a single square on a grid, the illusion of infinity collapses.

The Grid of Truth

We built the Life Grid to let you see your entire existence in one glance. It divides your timeline into three distinct zones:

  • The Dead Zone (Grey): Weeks you have already lived. They are gone. No amount of money can buy them back.
  • The Grind (Red): The weeks between now and your retirement. This is the “cost” of your future freedom.
  • The Freedom (Green): The weeks after you retire. This is what you are working for.

And then there is The White Dot. That’s you. Right now. One single pulsing pixel moving relentlessly from left to right, turning potential (Red/Green) into memory (Grey).

The Red Sea

For most people, the grid is terrifying because of the Red Zone. It looks overwhelming. It visually represents the price of the 9-to-5.

If your Red Zone is massive and your Green Zone is tiny, you have a math problem. You are trading too much of your prime existence for a freedom you might be too old to enjoy.

Print Your Mortality

This tool isn’t just for looking at once. We built a high-resolution export feature so you can save your Grid.

Set it as your desktop wallpaper. Print it out and put it on your wall. Mark off a square every Sunday night with a sharpie. Make the passage of time physical.

Stop drifting through the weeks. You don’t have enough of them to waste.
