Your life in weeks

Why look at your life in weeks?

Seeing your life as a finite grid is a modern version of the ancient Stoic practice of memento mori, remembering that time is limited. It isn't meant to be morbid. Most people find it clarifying: the weeks you have left are enough to do a lot of what matters, but not enough to waste on what doesn't.

What to do with the weeks you have left

• Spend time with people you love. Many of the hours you'll ever spend with parents, children or old friends may already be behind you. Make the rest count.
• Pick a few things to get great at. 30 minutes a day is 180 hours a year, enough to become genuinely skilled at almost anything.
• Notice your days. A one-minute daily check-in (an intention in the morning, a rating at night) makes weeks feel distinct instead of blurring together.

That is exactly what Intentional is for: habits, a private journal, day ratings and reviews that help each week count.
