Why know this?
Awareness of life's finitude is not a reason for fear. It is the most powerful tool for setting priorities. When you see your entire life at once — it becomes clear what each week is worth spending on. Don't postpone what matters. Call your loved ones, travel, learn, try new things. Every dot on this grid is a gift.
