About this deal

Plot out goals for the future by making a mark on a future box and visually seeing exactly how many weeks you have to get there.

Looking at this spoon of diamonds, there’s one very clear question to ask: “Are you making the most of your 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’. 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. The basic concept of a weeks of your life chart is that on a single piece of paper, or poster, you will see all the weeks of your potential life. By colouring in each week as you live it you’ll see how much time you have used up. You have the weeks of your life 1-52 on the top, and your age along the side. Life calendar printed on A4 paperIt kind of feels like our lives are made up of a countless number of weeks. But there they are—fully countable—staring you in the face.

Each row of weeks makes up one year. That’s how many weeks it takes to turn a newborn into a 90-year-old. 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 calendarLast year I started with ‘What a f***ing year’. The last 365 days have been far worse than most people expected. 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. Write something in each week’s box as it goes by—the boxes are large enough to write a few words in with a sharp pencil. Get down and dirty with your past self so you can prepare for a better future. You’re Done! But What to Do with This… One of the ways we end up in NeitherLand is by not thinking about things hard enough—so one of the most critical skills is continual reflection and self-awareness. Otherwise, you can fall into an unconscious rut and waste a bunch of precious diamonds.

This year I have learned an extremely important lesson — My happiness is not tied to what others think about me. This feels obvious. And feels like something people tell you all the time. But was not something that I was living. I couldn’t find a good spreadsheet for doing this exercise anywhere on the Google sphere. So, I made one . I’m happy to share it with you: Of course, if a diamond is enjoyable but by enjoying it you’re screwing your future diamonds (an Instant Gratification Monkey specialty), that’s not so good. Likewise, if you’re using diamond after diamond to build something for your future, but it’s not making you happy and seems like a long-term thing with no end in sight, that’s not great either. In reality, this was all in my head. Once I began telling people, they could not have been more supportive of me, my career, and my decision! This learning goes beyond work and has helped me be happier in every aspect of life. Family >>> I decided to have a go at creating a version of the classic 52 weeks calendar as a fun spreadsheet project. I wanted to set up some formulas so you could enter your age and then it would pre-fill the squares up to that year. If for example you are 30 years old there are 1560 squares that need to be filled in, so you definitely don’t want to do this by hand.

For me, I’m focusing on the time between now and when I turn 40. I’ve got 359 weeks until this occurs. I’m ready to conquer some big goals. Watch out world! You can use the resources from the aforementioned blog post and print out fillable PDFs. Or you can go the easier route and do it right now on your computer. If you take into account the age you might expect to reach you’ll see what proportion of your life has been used up.
