Memento Mori is a simple, reflective tool that helps you see your life laid out in weeks. It translates the abstract idea of a lifetime into a tangible visual: every square represents one week. This helps you understand how much time you've already used, how much time is estimated to remain (based on regional averages), and how your life is commonly divided across everyday activities.
Purpose
- Encourage intention: The visualization is designed to prompt reflection and motivate deliberate choices about how to spend remaining time.
- Offer perspective: It frames ordinary activities (sleep, work, commute, leisure) in the context of a full lifetime so users can see the proportional weight of each.
Why this exists
- People often treat time as unlimited. Seeing time represented visually is a gentle but powerful reality check.
- It’s intended as a personal reflection aid — useful for journaling, life planning, or simply re-aligning daily choices with larger values.
Notes on interpretation
- The output is illustrative, not predictive. Life-expectancy figures are averages for populations and do not determine any individual’s actual lifespan.
- The tool’s value is in perspective and motivation, not in forecasting specifics.
