The Notion Life Calendar

Do you ever think about time? I mean, your time. The Notion life calendar displays in a grid all the weeks that make up a 90 years' life. The black squares are the weeks that have been passed already. The white squares, are the weeks yet to come.

I created this small life calendar to be embeddable in your digital life, so you can sometimes think about your time.

It should serve just as a semicolon in your daily life; a small pause.

Technically speaking, this digital calendar, cannot be cached ^[1]. Exactly as your life. Every time you will have a look at this image inside a Notion page, it will be a distinct and exact representation of the weeks you already lived, the weeks to come and, hopefully, it will remind you that time is a gift. And you can make great things with it.

The concept of a life calendar was invented by Tim Urban and, if you didn't already, check out his article your life in weeks. A really eye opening read.
