This is a simple interactive website that lets you visualize your life in months, based on a 90-year life expectancy.
Life moves fast — and sometimes we forget to pause and reflect.
This project is a minimalist tool that lets you enter your date of birth, and then see how many months you've lived — out of a total of 1,080 months (90 years). It highlights those months visually in a grid of circles.
Each filled circle represents a month you've already experienced. The empty ones? They're your future.
More than a productivity tool, this is an invitation to pause — to:
- Appreciate how far you’ve come
- Reflect on the beautiful moments you’ve lived
- Realize how much time we sometimes spend on things that don’t matter (like endless hours on your phone)
- Reconnect with your goals and intentions
I was inspired by Tim Urban’s article on Wait But Why, where he visualizes a human life in weeks. It made me stop and reflect — on everything I’ve already lived, what truly matters, and how easily our energy gets drained by distractions.
- The user enters their birthdate
- The script calculates how many months have passed until today
- It fills that number of circles (out of 1,080) to show life lived so far
- It displays the percentage of life lived
- A short reflective question invites the user to pause and think
