What was I doing before that?
In my 30s
Coming soon…
In my late 20s

The story behind it
Have you ever felt like each year goes by faster than the last? That’s actually a real thing — it’s called Janet’s Law. I wrote more about this in my article when I was thinking it through.
According to Japan’s life table, women live to about 87 on average. I do a quick math in my head: “Okay—so if I’m a 28-year-old Japanese woman, that gives me roughly 59 years left.” Huh. That suddenly makes time feel very… real.
That’s why I started this habit, nothing fancy: every week I just jot down what I actually did. One square gets filled for each week. It’s basic, but seeing the grid—square by square—makes it hit me that time really is finite.
This is your life in weeks. Each row is one year. One square is one week.
I just look at the grid and reflect—it’s interesting to see it all laid out like this.
