Visualize your life in weeks and practice "memento mori" with every new Chrome tab
Hi!
I wanted to share the Chrome extension I made as a weekend hack recently. It visualizes the number of weeks in your life so far, and in the life you have remaining, as dots.
The point isn't to be morbid but to help you reflect on how precious life is and take inspired action. The Stoics called the practice "memento mori": remember that you will die.
The visualization of your life as dots is based on Wait But Why's blog post (https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html), and I wanted a similar visual, aesthetically pleasing way to remind myself of the shortness of life every day. So I made it a Chrome extension. You can change the color scheme that the life visualization uses as well!
Thanks and let me know if anyone has any feedback!

That's pretty cool, I did use something before (also use it from time to time), I think it's https://timestripe.com
Did you forget to add a link to your extension or am I missing it?
Also, https://timestripe.com looks really cool, thanks for linking!
Yeah, I forgot, rookie mistake :( Here it is! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/memento-remind-yourself-o/domldlkicbabbljkfibmhnhfobbbfclp
Would love to see this as an app where you write weekly summary and mark important weeks with different colors where you hit certain milestones.
Great idea.
Thank you for the idea and the feedback!
Hi @troyshu! Where can we find it?
Idea sounds great! I love that post, along with everything Tim puts out.
Doh, forgot to past the link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/memento-remind-yourself-o/domldlkicbabbljkfibmhnhfobbbfclp
Like the thought process @troyshu
It would be awesome if you can turn these visualizations into some sort of motivational checklist.
