Life in Weeks

About

🌱 What is Life in Weeks?

We get roughly 4,000 weeks in a typical human lifetime. This extension shows you where you stand in that timeline — one week at a time. Each box represents a week you’ve lived (or will live), giving you a powerful visual cue to make every week count.

Life in Weeks is a minimalist Chrome extension that replaces your new tab page with a grid-based life calendar. It’s a visual reminder of how fleeting — and valuable — our time really is.

Built for reflection, productivity, and intentional living.

📚 Inspired by Four Thousand Weeks

“The average human lifespan is absurdly, terrifyingly, insultingly short.”
— Oliver Burkeman

This extension is a visual interpretation of Burkeman’s core message:
Make peace with your limits. Prioritize what matters. Live on purpose.

Whether you’re a fan of digital minimalism, mindfulness, or deliberate productivity, Life in Weeks is a powerful nudge toward meaningful focus.
