Your time is your life

How many weeks of your life will you spend looking at a screen?

Your life is made of a surprisingly small number of weeks. See where yours may go — and what you could get back.

Your life, in weeks

See your time differently.

Enter your date of birth and average daily phone screen time to visualize the weeks behind you, the time everyday life may require, and the time you may still be able to reclaim.

How to read your weeks

What each color represents

One dot equals one 168-hour week. Black dots are weeks that have actually passed. The other colors show the equivalent number of full weeks your remaining hours may add up to.

Already Lived

Actual weeks elapsed since your date of birth.

Sleep

Estimated at 8 hours every day.

Eating

Estimated at 2 hours every day.

Work/School

Estimated at 8 hours a day, 4.5 days a week, through age 70.

Bathroom/Hygiene

Estimated at 25 minutes a day for males; 30 minutes a day for females.(Based on British Survey)

Commute

Estimated at 26 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

Phone Screen Time

Based on the daily average you entered.

Remaining/Free Time

What remains after the modeled categories and phone time.

— weeks of your remaining life would be spent looking at your phone.

— weeks RECLAIMED — about — years of 24-hour-equivalent time.

How this estimate works

One dot = one 168-hour week. Black dots represent actual weeks already elapsed since the date of birth entered. Future colored dots represent the equivalent number of full weeks that the estimated hours for each category add up to; they are not meant to imply that an entire chronological week is spent on only one activity.

The standardized assumptions are: sleep 8 hours/day; eating 2 hours/day; work/school 8 hours/day, 4.5 days/week until age 70; bathroom/hygiene 25 minutes/day for males and 30 minutes/day for females; and commute time 26 minutes/day, 5 days/week. Phone screen time is taken from the remaining/free-time pool to avoid intentionally adding it on top of every other category.

Life expectancy uses the Social Security Administration’s 2023 Period Life Table, as used in the 2026 Trustees Report. SSA describes the value at each exact age as the average remaining years expected under the table’s mortality rates. The calculator uses the visitor’s completed age for the SSA lookup and the exact date of birth for weeks already lived. This is a population-level actuarial estimate, not a prediction of any individual lifespan.

The point isn’t guilt. It’s possibility.
