Goal

Decide how to spend the hours you have left. There are 168 hours in a week. There are far fewer weeks ahead than you think.

  1. 1. Tell us about you

    Age, sex (for life expectancy), and optionally your parents' age. Nothing leaves your browser.

  2. 2. Spend a week

    Drag the sliders to allocate 168 hours across sleep, work, phone, family, friends, exercise, and the rest. Total must equal 168.

  3. 3. See the math

    Every weekly choice gets multiplied across your remaining lifetime. The numbers are blunt — that's the point.

Things to try

  • Set Phone to 5h/day. Look at how many years that is.
  • Set Parents to 0.5h/week and read the visits-remaining number aloud.
  • Adjust until your week looks like reality, then Share the chart.

Life expectancy data from SSA, CDC and UN. Adjust your country and sex on the input screen.
