Your life in weeks

A reflection, not a countdown · FiveClose

A life of 85 years is about 4,420 weeks. Seen one by one they look like a lot. Seen as a grid they fit on one screen, and the ones you'll spend with the people who matter most are a small part of it. Type your birth year to see yours. Nothing you type leaves this page.

How it's counted

What to do with it

Pick the five people you'd most regret losing touch with, and make the small, regular contact a habit: a message every couple of weeks, a standing call, a meet-up a month. FiveClose shows who you're due to be in touch with this week, notices when someone goes quiet, and asks your circle to check on you if you do.
