    What is Online Life in Weeks Calendar?

    Life in Weeks Calendar draws your whole life on a single page: a row for every year and a box for every week of it, from your birth date to the lifespan you choose. The weeks you have lived are filled in, this week is marked, and the rest are still empty. At 90 years, a whole life is only 4,680 boxes, few enough to see at a glance.

    Colour the chapters of your life, from childhood and school to work and retirement, ring the days that mattered, and save it as a printable poster, a phone or desktop wallpaper, or a square picture to share. It is the idea behind the popular “memento mori” calendar: a reminder that the weeks are countable, so each one counts.

    Frequently asked questions

    How many weeks are in a lifetime?

    About 4,680 in 90 years: 52 weeks a year. Each row of the calendar is one year of your life, from one birthday to the next, so a row always starts on your birthday; the day or two left over each year are not counted.

    What life expectancy should I use?

    Any you like: 90 is the classic, and fills a page neatly. Average life expectancy at birth is around 73 worldwide and over 80 in many countries, and someone who is already an adult can expect to live longer than the average at birth.

    Is my birth date saved anywhere?

    Only in your browser, so the calendar is the same when you come back. Nothing is sent to our servers, and the posters and wallpapers are drawn on your device.

    How do I print it?

    Download the PDF for A4, A3 or US Letter and print it at full size, without “fit to page”. For a bigger poster, the PNG of the A3 format is 3,508 by 4,961 pixels and enlarges well at a print shop. To plan the year ahead instead, use the Printable Calendar Generator, or set your goals with the Goals Bingo Card Maker.
