This week I celebrate 2000 weeks on this planet! I had never calculated my age in weeks until I saw this inspiring Youtube video by Kurzgesagt: What are you doing with your life?

‍

Time flies and we might not always spend it the way we want to. So data visualization to the rescue! How about creating some overview and perspective on your life with a grid plot?

‍

I have to say making this design was somewhat confronting. Only 1 out of 20 people gets to be a 100 years old and lives up until 5200 weeks. Even in this most optimistic scenario, this dataviz really confronted me with the finity of my own life.

‍

But then again, this message might as well stimulate to make the right choices and get the most out of life. As Carl Sagan said: "We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever".
